Today we had a brainstorm on #fedora-devel about installed pkgs
arbitrary metadata something like this:
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-maint/2007-August/000506.html

then it occurred to me - putting this around rpmsack.py such that when
we load any package in from the rpmdb we query a local yum db about
meta-metadata would be really simple.

what sort of stuff would we want to stick there?

and does /var/lib/yum/ make sense?
