We need "repos" for this, as the source name is very overloaded with
development packages.

So, can I add for now:

PK_GROUP_ENUM_COMMUNICATION
PK_GROUP_ENUM_NETWORK
PK_GROUP_ENUM_MAPS
PK_GROUP_ENUM_REPOS

Sure, livna and stuff does the same in Fedora.

Hmm. Okay, what about we make the filter called "visible" and we only
implement that filter if we want control over the output options.

Okay for me to add PK_FILTER_ENUM_VISIBLE?
