Saw those. They looked good for the usage cases that I can think of.

Fine. That's already accounted for.

Do you want to pass the unique package identifier as an extra parameter
to XTrigger.run() or pass it inside the transaction structure? Perhaps
there should be a root object which acts as a container for transaction
structure you've already proposed. This root object could hold extra
info about the transaction such as this unique ID for the "active" package.

I can't think of much either. In almost all cases the RPM should take of
most of this type of stuff itself. It's probably worth having the
support there though.
