That's not so easy to determine...  if you have package foo-1 from extras
and then extras pushes foo-2  and cleans out foo-1 from its directory
at some point. And then crappyrpms.org pushes foo-3... how does yum
know the foo-1 package you have installed is from extras?

You could implement a check against a change in signature... but the
worth of that is somewhat limited as well. for example I don't think
packages in updates-testing are signed with a different key than
updates-released so you just checking a change in signature doesn't
catch i change in repo.
