Interesting use case. I don't want to implement --ignore-missing in a
way it's implemented in APT, but I have the idea how
'cache-only-upgrade's can be supported another way.

If I create an experimental topic branch in a couple of weeks with this
feature implemented, would you want to test it right away? That would
mean VCS checkout from Git and running locally built binary.
