I'm just adding code to PackageKit to add source, and came upon a
quandry: Should GetSource() take a "filter" argument? Might the user
ever want to filter the results of GetSource by installed, newest or
free-software?

At the moment I'm thinking the method should be GetSource(filter,
[package_ids]) -- better ideas welcome.

Richard.
