In this case I would suggest a different way.

Create a list of available software installable through WPKG and let the 
user select from that list.
For each of the selected packages run WPKG with the option to install it.

With the latest release of WPKG the package will be updated if the 
package on the server updates.
If you happen to add it to the profile applied to the host, it will no 
longer have the manually installed flag set and will be removed when you 
remove it from the profile.

With this way you don't have to interrupt each package installation, but 
just start WPKG with the packages to be manually installed.
