a) Yes, I am not paid and the stuff you request sounds like not enough fun to 
compensate the invested efforts

b) You talk about "very often" and about "backups reasons" in the same
context. Heh? Your task is not related to backup at all, maybe somehow
to the "restore". But in common sense, a "restore from backup" is not
something done regularly!

So, what do you REALLY want? Just merge archive contents? Then use
"rsync -a --checksum --update" or something.

c) Maybe you should start reading Debian/Ubuntu documentation first in
order to learn how to get package source. Begin with the copyright file.

If you want to implement it, just go ahead but expect the patch to be
examined very carefully before being accepted.
