In a conjunct effort me and Varinder Singh merged the RPM Module with

The module is available at:

Don't call it packages.
unless the plan is to merge in deb package and other support as well.

Further -- joining the install and remove code with the yum code won't
work on RHEL 4 installations, since it would require yum to be installed.
We also can't be changing API signatures for modules like this
midstream, so this introduces duplication.
If you want to create a higher level packages module (that uses the rpm
and yum module code), this is reasonable... but as Seth says, it should
also support (at minimum) Debian and be an abstract
concept. It should also reuse the code from the other two modules.
PackageKit sort of comes up as a logical abstraction layer, but I think
that's a bad idea seeing that's not available for EL 4, and
enterprise-ness is the primary install base.
