This is a fundamentally broken assumption.  Multiple packages are
required because packages can and do depend on other packages.  Even
things like python-paramiko, etc.

All that said -- it'd be trivial to split out the search bit of pirut
and have that run stand-alone.  But that doesn't get rid of the need to
do transactions, depsolving, etc.
