Patches now have bugzilla and security metadata. I already added support 
for displaying them in the user interface. However I am thinking on 
zypper now.

An user may want to say zypper "install the fix for bugzlla 3223".

We have 2 ways to implement this, and I would like to hear your feedback:

- use the current metadata to search for the issue and mark packages for 
install. This will need some "look" code in each application.
- Use the solver, and during parsing inject something like 
provides:fix(bugzilla:23444) when filling the repodata. Then 
applications could inject a requires in the solver fix(bugzilla:23444) 
and just solve. I dont't know the consequences of this.
- Any other idea?

Duncan
