Now I tried to compare more machines and the strange thing is, that 
sometimes it shows "upgraded" even in the last months and sometimes not.
On the host2 at 2025-07-03 the PHP is logged as upgraded, at 2025-08-26 
almost everything is deinstalled and installed, then at 2025-09-29 
upgraded. Behavior is not consistent across all the machines but is was 
more "upgraded" on all machines in the past. (just comparing numbers of 
logged events "installed" / "deinstalled" / "upgraded" in the log files 
from previous years)

examples from this year from 2 hosts

host1

host2 (rfc5424 log format)
https://defuse.ca/b/4CESdSDzkxhwngVLsl7Fe9
