I had a suspicion zypp might be cleverer in that regard :-)

Sure, you could do that. All the database stuff is abstracted nicely in
the PkTransactionDb GObject, which you could probably subclass or just
replace with #ifdefs. I don't think this belongs in the backend, this is
more of a per-system thing, and not really pluggable. Maybe. Dunno. 

Ideas welcome :-)
