The short version is it is not possible to upgrade a cluster if you have
everything in one package.

I've thought about that, and I'm not opposed to  meta packages. I'm just
not sure yet which pieces are required where. I know you don't need all
of the pieces to run a cluster. I'm just not sure which pieces are
required on which nodes.

I don't think it would be one kubernetes meta package, but several
depending on the type of node you are setting up.
