Could we add a flag that say "change the use of the DB"? If it doesn't, testing/upgrading is just a matter of moving a directory and copy the new version in the right place.
If there is some change at the DB level (schema or code that use the DB) a backup would be a more conservative choice.
DB and API changes must happen in a new branch. Any given branch should not contain anything else but bugfixes just like Drupal core.
