This seems reasonable, but I thought we had decided that it made sense
to have something like (warning: bad xml :-)
  <update location="updateinfo/httpd-2.0.54.xml">
associated with the package in the primary metadata and only have one
file per "update".  

With that, I can use the update file as a per-update key instead of
showing every single package and sub-package.
