I was thinking of a new option for urpmi (say: "--changes") that would list 
the changes between the installed version of a package and the most recent 
available.

For example, if I had gkrellm-2.1.7a-1mdk installed, and gkrellm-2.1.7a-2mdk 
was available, typing

# urpmi --changes gkrellm

would result in an output similar to

package gkrellm:
        2.1.7a-1mdk ==> 2.1.7a-2mdk
        gkrellmd initscript is back (thanks to Buchan Milne)


This would allow the user to type something like:

# urpmi --changes --auto-select

and get the list of changes for the packages that would be updated by 
auto-select.

Thanks for your attention :)
