Why not have aptitude: 1) retreive the deb(s) required; 2) deinstall the

Sounds rather dangerous to me. You would not really want to try this
with an essential package, would you?
Currently running programs won't be affected, only attempts to run new
instances while the reinstall is happening.
And running programs that load files from their installation at runtime
(like Emacs, Zsh, Vim, ...).
