One simple solution, that wouldn't actually require any new choices, and that would also allow me to choose not to upgrade from version 2.32 to 2.33 of some package without constantly saying so, but offer an upgrade to v. 2.34, would simply be to remember all my choices from a given run of setup, and only go back to defaults when a new version of any package appears.
