I do not think so. The issue described there is well known and not new 
at all, and it is not a fundamental problem, it just reflects the fact 
that manual user intervention is required to resolve conflicts when 
making the transition from an unmanaged to a managed system, no matter 
what kind of auto-update mechanism is introduced.

That transition could be made easier for users, but that is not a 
problem with the package management concept as such, just some 
enhancements that are needed in the front-ends.
