I guess this could be confusing for users.  Since these are separate 
commands, it's best to invoke them separately (if we keep the current 
model of two separated commands).

I think it's better to make use of the current interface that Qi already 
provides, add whatever needs to be added to the Makefile, and invoke the 
"extensions".  The interface would do the following, if Qi has 
"upgrade", it is complemented with "update" of the Qire extension, and 
so on...

(This was not done before because Qire had to be developed.).

Apart from all this, whether it's done or not. I think it will be more 
practical for users to have to invoke a single command here for package 
managing, and the finer grain in Graft.
