The last one clearly shows that 'name' is not the right one.  'description' is 
better as it is more general.  If you want to keep a name than use it as 3rd 
(info only field).  So it can be used as:
name: Pascal Blesser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

So, why is suse not providing this?  Or anybody else that wants suse to switch 
to repodata.  Have a look at:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/examples
