Is there any way to use trailing wildcards in ProductKeys?

Software products make more sense if you can match all versions of their name. 
Otherwise, when I perform an update I'll have to add a bunch of "new" 
ProductKeys to get the manufacturer mapped properly.

I've added support for pulling my package information using dpkg-query. 
(http://dev.zenoss.com/trac/ticket/3359 for my request to add it.) So now I 
have lots of software packages with an "Unknown" maintainer and no good way to 
keep my Zenoss Software Maintainers maintained.

If there is no way to set the Manufacturer without a full explicit ProductKey 
(which varies by version), then I'll just put up with an unknown maintainer 
field. Assuming one of my monitored machines is running the latest stable 
Ubuntu for testing purposes there would be a new version every 3 months, with 
many of the packages having new versions, and thusly new product keys. I don't 
consider it a maintainable option to hand-associate 1500-3000 product keys 
potentially every 3 years, let alone potentially every 3 months.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Steven Black
