I don't recall seeing anything like that in the distro's that I've
worked with. This is mostly unnecessary since the the two reasons for
this feature are to overcome virus damage or installation damage where
an older dll overwrites a newer dll. Even Windows has implemented a
method to keep the overwrites from occurring now.

I suppose that if you had a corrupted 'package' on Linux, you could do
something like 'apt-get -f install package' to put the original binaries
back in place.
