This problem is a side-effect of showing package updates in addition
to patch updates. That is IMHO a big usability win - since we can see
updated build-service, and volunteer packages - whose users typically
never build patch repositories / descriptions. Personally I don't want to loose
that feature.
We currently elide all package updates for packages that are mentioned
in a patch (so we prefer the patch) in
packagekit/backends/zypp/zypp-utils.c (zypp_get_updates)
Clearly that is not quite enough. If we want to exclude vendor
changes, it should be fairly trivial to scan all the packages to see
if their vendor does not match the installed vendor - and since these
are updates there should be no un-known / new packages that are not
already installed in the system to get that info from - right ?
Another ten lines to the above method by someone who understands
libzypp, and some half hour of testing pain required.
