Yes, I think that would work.  I already use that to prevent upgrade 
when the user has selected "Keep" on a package that would otherwise be 
upgraded.

What I've been struggling with, however, is the UI.  But now that I 
think about it, maybe it isn't that hard.  It's just a matter of doing 
something reasonable if the user unchecks "Accept default problem 
solutions".  I'll see what I can come up with.
