So basic idea of deb_bundle is to create a .zip files to .deb files
which you need to for installing a perticular software
If you bundle all dependencies into one package, doesnt it make the process
of updating a particular package of the bundle to a higher version more
cumbersome?
Basically many offline user never worry about updates,
Also, suppose vlc bundle contain 50 individual .deb files. Now, after
3 month, we observed that only 4 .deb files have updates, then we can
actually packs those 4 new .deb files into a new bundle and ship it as
update bundle. I do not think , this may be a problem.
The real problem which i see it that If some base package changes ,
lets says one library then you need to update all bundle which are
dependent on that library.
Eg. If there is an important new security update that is not updated in an
old bundle, it is problematic right.
I guess it might be good if there was also a method to resolve this(offline)
with a bundle
