Also IMHO (and this may not work on all systems). Instead of deleting
the
package and then untarring the new one. The new one should be untarred to a
temp directory and then the old one moved out the way and the new one moved
in.
If you're going to do this, you get into issues of quota and physical
disk limits. Running out of disk/quota should fail gracefully. If
this gets implemented it should probably be made optional.
As a backup, I prefer keeping the previous compressed tarball around
even with buildable source available.

I agree with Andy on this. If you don't have enough disk space for 2
copies of a package directory, your disk is about to explode anyways.

One could argue that if your disk is likely to explode then installing
XEmacs will make it do so anyway :)
