Understood. That's in fact a very important use case which we
discussed a while ago.

I defer to Michael here, who knows much better about update-manager.
If update-manager would do that, it would nicely solve the "cherrypick
proposed" use case. Can you please tell me how feasible that would be?
I reopen the bug for now, to keep this place for the discussion.
Thanks! Martin
