Correct. However this is not a problem at all usually. Most upgrade 
instructions (running the installer in silent mode again) can be run as 
many times as you wish without problems.
If he wants to avoid this, then he can just remove (comment) the upgrade 
command of the package. So WPKG will execute nothing, then run the 
checks and find the software installed properly. After that WPKG will 
write the new package node to the local settings file. So a subsequent 
remove instruction will be read from the changed package definition.

br,
Rainer
