in case of mwi, it does not make sense that there are two entries in
presentity table for the same mailbox, for example:

Messages-Waiting: yes

and

Messages-Waiting: no

the one that arrived later should override the earlier one.  

also without any bugs, it may happen that the mailbox has crashed or
something and lost its ETag.  then it doesn't have any other chance than
to send an initial publish request.

would it be possible to have an event package specific parameter that
tells what to do, i.e., should initial publish replace (update) possibly
existing presentity entry or should it add a new one (default)?
