[packagekit] [PATCH]Service Packs: Creation and Installation

[Shishir Goyal]

To nullify the posibility of the user's installing an incompatible*
pack on their system, I have tried to add some metadata in the form of
a file named metadata.conf to the packs while they are created.

Subsequently, upon installation the packs are checked against the then
system distro_id.

*Incompatiblity in the sense, James, who works on Ubuntu doesn't want
to install a pack meant for F9.

Patches attached. Reviews.
