What is the difference between a spawn and a native backend, if you
don't mind my asking?  I thought, on an abstract level, that
packagekitd would activate processes of whatever backend it was using
in the background, whether yum, zypp, apt, etc.  I'm not sure what the
distinction between two types of backends is.
