the comps rpm is installed by anaconda. iirc it's there in %post.
that's the goal - if hdlist[2] is installed then hopefully yum can find
it and use the headers out of there instead.
it'd be nice to decrease load from headers being retrieved, at least for
a while.
it's intended as a hold over until the metadata work makes the header
getting go away.
