I know how to make  rpa install rpa-base  itself atomic: I'd have
another restricted rpa-base only to recover the main one.
However being atomic doesn't help if the new rpa-base is broken and that
is detected only after the transaction is completed :-)
So I'll probably do as you say and make it keep the old version after
the transaction is finished in order to allow the user to roll back if
he notices something is very wrong.
