Sounds like a good idea.  I have an idea that all of us have
just been doing it each our own way.  I have a simple shell
script that runs in cron at 4 am everyday that does:

    o- a backup of horde
    o- a cvs -z3 update -d -P of horde and all modules
    o- an install-packages.php
    o- a pear upgrade-all
    o- emails me the results.

If I find something broken in the morning, it is trivial to
reinstall yesterday's version from the backup.  I also try
to check the files in the config directories with a script
that uses ls -ltr in the config directories after a few
sanity checks.  If there is something new, I have yet
another script wrapper for sdiff to update the files as
painlessly as possible.

I just realized that using so many scripts, sucks but as I
said in the begining it has been an evolutionary process
:-)

I look forward to hearing what other folks do.

Have a great day,
