Update a runtime image

Hello, I have a question related to jlink.

In a scenario where a runnable image created with jlink is installed, and
it should be updated, what are good strategies for doing this?

I think if an update will introduce new dependencies this will be
different to updates that are known to be satisfied with what is already
in the image.

The idea is to 'ship' just a small sort of diff / replacement part that
can be applied to the 'old' image to become 'new'.

Thanks for any insights, and happy silvester / new year!
Thomas
