What if the package is a meta package? "yum install snmpd" would install net-snmpd so in that case this change would block an "snmpd" package_method promiser and I think that is OK. If we really wanted to we could amend the package_list_command to include the meta package names?

The problem here might be that we only don't want to schedule the operation if it is an Add. If the operation is a Verify we want to let it through to SchedulePackageOp().
