Ah, I follow. > > Didn't post the ports earlier (before this backend backport), > since it was kinda useless to run with the "dummy" backend. :-) No problem. I did notice some nits in the plist of packagekit. You should not include blank lines (even to logically segment sections). If you want true separation, use separate plists. Once I have some time, I'll go through them in more detail.
