Yeah...

So the logic I used to show only 'base' packages was 'If the package
has an SRPM, and the package name doesn't match the SRPM name, then
don't show it'.

So the lohit-fonts-* packages have an SRPM (lohit-fonts), but there's
no 'lohit-fonts' package, only lohit-fonts-*.  I'll have to change the
logic to catch that case, which means that GetUpdates (for yum) will
spit out all the Package() signals at once, instead of dribbling them
out as we get them from yum.  Shouldn't be a big deal, though.
