Right, sorry for the delay. At the moment you just can't do that with
PackageKit - it's not in the GUI or API at the moment.

My main question would be: why do you need to use it?

Packagekit is designed around several loose use-cases, so if you can
find a use case for this functionality (other than "it's cool" :-) then
we can start talking about how we can add the functionality to
PackageKit to fulfil the use case.

Thanks,

Richard.
