-u is not an option for me because I want to know when things changed.

That's why I'm using

  packageOverrides = {

    all = misc.collection {
      name = "all";
      list = [
        pkgs.pkg1
        pkgs.pkg2
        pkgs32.pkg3
        ..
      ];
    };
  };

Then I just reinstall "all". Maybe this is an option for you as well..
This way you also notice when packages are gone (or have been renamed or
replace by others);
