then maybe files like this:

1. channels/repos/whatever available - timestamps/md5sums of the mdfiles
2. xml file of common data (nevral)and a tag telling what kind of file
they are
3. xml file of their dep/provides/suggests/etc information
4. xml of complete file lists
5. xml 'misc' data (changelogs, 'other' data) :)

Questions that come up - in this representation where do the pkg mgmt
and vendors store their specific info? Where does rc store some
licensing information (for an example)?

Would that be worth having an additional file? 

Am I maybe a little looney for suggesting this?
