After I read your reply, I looked at your blog post about this. Sounds very
useful, specially for my case. How would this work exactly in my case, since
I would be downloading the updates / new packages on Ubuntu?

btw, thanks for all the worthwhile suggestions. I 'll have to do some more
reading on all these.
