Sure thing!

I'd like to make this work by adding a hook and a plugin which inserts
artificial "upgrade" relationships in the graph, which should be
somewhat trivial as well.

To guide the development, can you come up with a list of use cases
you'd like to cover?  If possible, please try to make them short and
simple (E.g. package .... and ... is installed, package .... is
available, etc).

Thanks,
