The simple rule goes, if you can't control the system the upgrade will be applied to, you cannot do automatic upgrades. You can automate it, just don't override the owner of the software/ system. She must make the conscious decision to allow the upgrade.
The only time automatic upgrades are feasible are in a SaaS environment and even then, you usually leave it up to the customer to "turn on" new features, especially when the changes or added features may cause some sort change in user experience (and even when they are good changes!).
