I admit that's what I do, too.  It's slow and painful, but
it means only remembering one thing :-)

ark-invasive could easily be considerably improved.  It's
presently just 'ark package uneverything ...' followed by
'ark package deploy ...'.  As you've seen, that's often a
big hammer to crack a nut.

Alternatively, we could add a method (probably to
sidai/ark-vwrapped.xml), something like
'change-version-wrapper-version' that would do the business
directly.

Yell if you think there's some place we should add something
to some documentation...
