In theory it starts with (optional) /media.1/products.
/media.1/products contains the list of directories on the media that
contain repos:
/ SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-.....
The /content file is the master index of the repository in /.
In theory we can have content in a subdir, if /media.1/products says so.
Without /media.1/products the repo must be in /.
So I'd test for '/media.1/products or /content' being present.
