I thought the package should be removed from openSUSE (until maybe replaced by
a version that fits the openSUSE eco system)? 

Would be the maintainer of the search-packages plugin (who? Ji����?) then.

The zypper message is tied to the presence of the search-plugin. Zypper does
not know (and does not want to know) whether it's running on openSUSE or SLE or
whatever... 

Especially when printing the hint along with the help text, zypper knows little
about the system (just whether
"/usr/lib/zypper/commands/zypper-search-packages" is installed).

After all the trouble we had with this feature, I don't want to accidentally
damage it. If zypper should suppress the message even if a search-packages
plugin is present, I need a way to detect when (without knowing about repos and
packages and confirmed (best by Kai Dupke) that this does not damage any of the
intended usecases).
