you're barking at the wrong tree. i only pointed out that it was 
mis-used for main package.

apparently qboosh is maintaining somewhere such support. (that is not 
pld-th).

also, i think it's needed for rpm 4.5 as well (used in pld ac)

maybe it's easier to back-port the support to 4.5 branch then? how big 
the changeset was anyway?
