Yes, that was exacly the point. I simply forget to dump databases on
testing env when upgrading postgres from 9.1 to 9.2. In this (rather
simple) case I took the three repackaged rpms and did --oldpackage.
With --rollback, I could earlier do this without searching rpms in
/var/spool/repackage.

Or remove - if leaving this option would lead to making some magic
with some filesystems :).
