This is wrong. This has to stay in the backend files as it's backend
specific - it's the way the daemon asks the backend what it supports.

I would also much prefer pk_backend_python_*() and pk-backend-python.*
as it makes it easier to grep for backend stuff - sorry - I know this
will be a pain.

The concept of the patchset is great, just a few little details ;-)

Thanks,

Richard.
