Humm, may I ask you to plan it?  It's for the same reason why I ask for the 
available space figure.  It's is maybe not interesting for configuration, but 
for maintenance it is.  When running  package-conf from a cron say weekly and 
by providing the output to the SA, (s)he will be able to see what packages 
are available in case a problem is reported (to the companies internal 
helpdesk e.g.)   Or when a new system needs to be delivered to an employee,  
the IT department can easily see if there are any non (company) standard have 
been installed.  If yes, they can take care that the new system comes with 
the special application(s).

It will be used and appreciated, if it is in the xst package (a --get only 
will be sufficient for now).

For those who have no (/)home the journey is endless



P.S.  Does any one of you know the answer on my other question I posted 
before:
is there a gnome system wide definition file in /etc e.g.?  The location of 
this file should not change, when gnome is stored in another location between 
new builds e.g. I would like to use the global definition file for defining 
my system wide wallpaper directory e.g., but later perhaps for sounds and 
themes as well.
