That only gives me the last package used. I want more of a complete list. For 
example, if there was an update job running, I'd like the UI to show a list of 
which packages it already updated, which ones it has yet to update, and so on. 
As a user, if I see the message that updates are being installed, I might want 
to know if a new kernel is being installed. I'll start some UI program that 
queries PackageKit for the current transaction's package list and then 
displays it. That way I know not to start anything really big since I'll want 
to restart when its done.
