One BIG REMARK:

-i option MUST NOT by default overwrite or remove the installation directory/files when upgrading a package.
I had some custom scripts in preloginloader for instance, and when I upgraded (installed new version) they had been deleted
OPSI packages should behave like debian packages, i.e.:
overwrite/delete only the files that were in the package. the rest should be left intact.

Yes, this would be nice!
Are you willing to spend some money?

[wardenik]

No, some effort.
Actually when thinking about it, i cannot see a good reason why not to use debian's dpkg deb style packages and scripting.
But that's just a suggestion for you not to invent the wheel again..
