the biggest part of hdlist is the filelist which is needed to fulfill
dependencies. At least it was that way when i started urpmi (which was meant
for a stable distro, not for cooker-like thingie).
since that time, hdlist has always been used (and tools like urpmf/rpmdrake
use it). I think the synthesis file can get (partly?) rid of the hdlist
requirement. francois ? (the urpmi master)
