Aptdaemon allows to store custom meta data in the transactions. You
would also need to also store them somewhere in PackageKit, eg. app name,
icon.

This allows to re-associate a transaction with the corresponding app
after a restart of USC or using other clients.

You should also think about PackageKit backends which only provide a
very slow GetPackages call and which don't support the internal
package list cache. But I don't have got any idea here.
