I have changed the yum backend to use package instead of data on 
download, but not on installation/update/remove, because the package 
information is not available on
deletion and cleanup (the second part of the update, there removes 
leftovers from the updated package).
I also changed the yum backend to update the percentage more resent on 
download / install / remove / update, but it need the latest upstream 
yum git code to work.
(yum >= 3.2.5), it will not break is using yum-3.2.4, but will not give 
the extra percentage output.
