About the name: "package" is fairly generic, but "pkg" is used as specific name. Arch has
".pkg.tar.xz", Slackware has "pkgtool". So unless you plan to support generic archive
formats, I think it would be best to use something rpm-specific, like "abirpmdiff"
or maybe even "rpmabidiff". The latter would have the advantage that it would be
more discoverable with tab-completion and similar.
