Hopefully it can actually preserve packages across updates which is incredibly annoying to have to handle manually.

EDIT: Just found about this attended sysupgrade package which should help until when/if the new package manager fixes the issue.

The underlying tool is getting replaced in 23. The new tool requests the new image with the packages from the build server.
