Hehe, see, even I can't remember header extensions ;-)
Thanks for the correction, I looked at rpmlib.h, not --querytags.
If there *is* a trigger type extension, it's used in exactly one place,
rpm -q --scripts display output from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt*.
That means that h.sprintf() (think: same as --queryformat arg but in python)
rather than h['xxx'] might have to be used top retrieve the value instead.
