The way I've managed this is by chaining policies based on smart-groups
tagge to Application version.
In your case for instance, I have a smart-group whose members consist of
computers running 12.1.1, and 12.1.2 (Our Office 2008 package is 12.1.1).
A policy is in place to deploy 12.1.3 to that members of that smart group
(make sure to remember to add "Update Inventory" to the advanced tab in
the polciy.
Then you can create a simliar smart group of users that have 12.1.3, and
create a policy to deploy 12.1.4 to members of that second smart group.
Users that have any version prior to 12.1.3 will not get 12.1.4 until they
are updated to 12.1.3, as they move from one smart group to the second;
"Slipstreaming", as you say. In practice the whole process happens
relatively quickly and efficiently.
