Speaking of that, is there any chance we can have PackageKit 0.4 in

improvements there over the old 0.3.1 release we're currently shipping.
There's no technical reason why this can't be done. I talked with Steven
M. Parrish a few weeks ago and he said:
"My opinion is to leave F9/F10 with the 0.3.x family and only upgrade
if/when all the translations are done or if a new feature in the 0.4.x
family is needed."
Which I agreed with. Most of the new strings in PK 0.4 have now been
translated, and so if you need the 0.4.x features, it might be a good
time to upgrade. My only slight worry is the fact that the codec
installer interface has changed slightly, so we'll need a newer build of
gnome-packagekit, which depends on a newer GTK.
It might be best to create a PackageKit franken-package with the same
interfaces as F10 (quite easy with git), and still get all the daemon
and backend improvements of 0.4.x.
