(I'm sure you know this) NEVRA isn't unique even if commonly used, and pkgid is
the only candidate for a unique id available for almost all *.rpm packages ever
built without painful retrofits. The SHA1 hdrid is likelier to be noticed
sooner because it maps directly into "what git does"' but a UUID representation
permits choice of a identifier that can be implemented without enormous
discussions.
It's not the count field in the package file, but rather the value returned
through the API that goes awry.
