This information is not contained in synthesis file (which makes it
small and fast to download). Rpmdrake was changed to use synthesis by
default:

* Tue Dec 11 2001 Fran�ois Pons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1.4-3mdk

- updated media management with current urpmi.
- allow rpmdrake to call urpmi.update once for more than one medium.
- default medium management to use synthesis.hdlist.cz file for
  Cooker, Security update (>= 8.2), ftp and http medium.
- allow to specify synthesis or hdlist for local and removable
  media.

If Guillaume builds hdlist as well you could use it and get full info.
It should be small enough.
