I don't really understand the consequences: Does this mean, e.g.
rpm -qi foo will not work anymore? BTW: There are quite many people out
there who don't like yum and up2date but use apt instead.
That will still work fine if foo is installed. All they are removng is
the pre-built package database.
For people that just have to have the oly functionality they can build
the database with rpm -i --justdb --dbpath /path/to/db /path/to/all/RPMS/*
