IIUC, even with the MinimalSteps setting turned on, all uploads will be downloaded in bulk. For our live-distro with its apt cache sitting on a tmpfs, this might exhaust memory on older systems. Also, packages might be downloaded in vain when the upgrading process gets interrupted due to a shut down.
Would it be possible to have the download occur not in bulk but in steps as well when this (or an additional option) is set?
