We could have a structure something like this :

Primary key : name of package

Other fields, 1:1 relation :
- package rpm category (+ subcategory, if any)
- repository
- etc

Other fields, 1:N relation :
- Packager nickname + packager status (primary maintainer, trainee or 
whatever) + real name + email
(The last 2 items could be in a separate table keyed by nickname.)

- Package dependancies (names of other packages)
- Package provides (names of other packages)
- etc.

Any of above fields could be chosen as secondary keys.

This is just a quick suggestion, for the purposes of discussion.

It doesn't seem that this sort of info would be useful in
  mageia-app-db, which is primarily for end-users.

another 2 cents :)
