Does it just confirm that the package is no longer available? I don't
see how you can script a tool that answers the question "Should have
this been obsoleted"  Not everything that drops out of rawhide gets
obsoleted by something.. it can just disappear...without there being a
packaging problem that needs to be addressed.
