Hi,

> Is it an abstraction and/or API to ZMD and rug ?
No, the other way round: zmd and rug use libzypp's API.
> Is libzypp the one capable of handling yast2/ZMD repos and RPM-MD ?
Yes.
> Or is it ZMD/rug ?
No, both of these go through libzypp.
> When using RPM-MD repos in yast2, does it still go through ZMD ?
No, YaST works if zmd is not even installed.
You can do:
rpm -e libzypp-zmd-backend zmd rug
and YaST will still work. (Except for the so-called registration.)
