If the skipped packages has to be in tsInfo, then we have to buildin 
real skip support into tsInfo.
Today we delete skipped packages from tsInfo, in the Future we might 
just change the state of the packages to 's' for skipped, but need some 
mayor changes in tsInfo and the depsolver so it can handle packages with 
state 's'.
IMO the self.skipped_packages fits best into YumBase, because this is 
where we do the skipping at the moment.
The plan with skip-broken was to first get it to do the right thing 
(without changing the depsolver to much), and then later integrate it 
deeper into the depsolver.
