Yes, I want the metadata to map cleanly to a single data structure so
it can be more easily managed through things that *aren't* file
systems (such as finally getting the installation database to support
import hooks and also for potential metadata publication through TUF).

However, decomposing it for efficient runtime access and backwards
compatibility reasons makes sense.

Cheers,
Nick.
