That mostly makes sense to me, but how does the system treat a file that's
named the same in both packages but is newer in the upgrade? Does that
constitute an increase to the reference count? I assume so...

I'm not averse to being extremely meticulous with the file sets. I've been
doing that anyway, or at least trying to.

I don't quite know how merge modules for libraries play into this either.
Do they just implement the same kind of upgrade logic for the files that
the main installer would?
