we do that. You have to read in the packaging information before you can
build this list.
How do you read in the packaging information w/o traversing the
packages?

The hash lookup is fast - that's trivial.
It's the getting the data into the hash that takes some time.
and even that isn't too bad - but if you have enough packages it takes
more time than when you have fewer packages.
