Yes. And i found out that we store the product name in
/etc/SuSE-release, but the names used there are not the ones use in NU's
repoindex.xml, so we need to sync that.

If there already is something usable, let's use it. But it must be
synced with what is used  repoindex.xml

yup. And it would be nice (read desirable) if it would be usable across
distros. So as far as storing of this value is concerned
/etc/SuSE-release is certainly not a good choice. Does LSB define
something like this?
