Hello,

It would be great to stabilise this interface.  We would like to add
package system metadata to the Emacs packages in Debian to track all the
built-in packages.  We could do various useful things with that.

Thanks to Xiyue for working on this, both here and over in the Debian
BTS.  The sample interface looks good to me.
