Yes.

Correct.

Well, you could write _get_name(), get_version() etc methods, but
it'll split the string on each request and be very inefficent. The new
way is quite a bit faster (less copies and pointer lookups) and easier
to debug.

Sure, but you have to ask yourself, why are you using the package
_name_ so much -- shouldn't you be using the package_id internaly
more?
