  An --info or whatever switch to get the description of an
  uninstalled package, just as you get it with rpm --info packagename
  when it's already installed.

  And the build-from-source thing that Levi mentioned...specially
  useful if urpmi "remembers" what has been built from source and what
  has been installed from binaries, and updates accordingly...that
  would absolutely rule :)
