In continuation of the previous PRs (#24189, #25457 ) I suggest one more.
I noticed that developers who need to update, for example, a section of scripts, often completely overwrite the existing package.json file.
Let's give ability to pass name of section as parameter of static::updatePackages.
For back compatibility, we also support boolean as parameter.
Maybe there are best variants for doing this, but I think, that this variant is the least breaking.
