Fred, the reason why package information is being gathered by a tool called hwtest (hardware test) is that it is important to correlate hardware with specific package versions. It's one thing to know that some hardware works on Hardy, it's another to know with which kernel or xorg driver for example. This becomes especially useful to detect regressions when some hardware for Hardy worked with one version of a package and then stopped working for a newer version. This is something that will piss people off too and it would be nice if the hardware database could eventually help the distro team to resolve this kind of problem quickly.
