Oooh, good idea: add check-in date as a piece of metadata to available 
packages. Then all sorts of interesting applications fall out, including 
what you describe, as well as updates to packages you're interested in 
but haven't installed, etc. Could be possible to get this info from the 
current timestamp for the .info files, though CVS might offer a better way 
to pass this information through [???].
