 Err ... PackageKit is currently the cross distro. way to work with
distro. package managers, nothing outside of that layer should ever know
(or care) where the data is coming from and how it gets updated etc.
 For package data now, PackageKit looks in primary-*.sqlite.bz2 in
Fedora and Packages.bz2 in debian. gnome-shell/whatever doesn't know or
care. This should be no different.
