Description Henrik Andersson cendio 2012-05-16 09:30:39 CEST 
Should present packages names in the dist specific naming convention,
so one can reuse the package string with the base package manager etc.
Comment 1 Henrik Andersson cendio 2012-05-16 09:34:57 CEST 
The simplest way might be to add a dict -> string formatter
function to each backend to format a string from dict entries:

[{"name":"rdesktop", "version":"1.7.0", "arch":"x86_64"} ... ]

which are stored in the packages() and depends(), lists something
in line with:

for p in packages():
  str_packages.append(backend.format(p));
