Sure, but this id is basically a check of "is this the right kind of
disk" rather than details for the backend.

The backend can read out from packagekit.conf on the root of the media,
where it might make sense to put stuff
like group-gnome-dist=foresight.rpath.org at fl:2-qa/2.0-0.29-3[~!dom0,~!
domU,~!vmware,~!xen is: x86(i486,i586,i686,sse,sse2) x86_64].
