 	This can be inferred from the "Signature" field.  I add this in 
with a sed script, attached, that adds a repository named based on the 
"Key ID".  There would be quite a bit of work in coming up with a general 
set of Key ID <-> Repo mappings.
 	If your local packages are signed, you could use this approach as 
well.
 	Cheers,
