Basically many offline user never worry about updates, Also, suppose vlc bundle contain 50 individual .deb files. Now, after 3 month, we observed that only 4 .deb files have updates, then we can actually packs those 4 new .deb files into a new bundle and ship it as update bundle. I do not think , this may be a problem. The real problem which i see it that If some base package changes , lets says one library then you need to update all bundle which are dependent on that library. > Eg.
