I need to be able to add attributes to the packages that the Packages plugin prereq generator adds to my configuration.

For example, my configuration includes the "sendmail-cf" package. The Packages plugin automatically adds the "sendmail" package as its required by "sendmail-cf." I manage in my configuration /etc/mail/sendmail.mc which sendmail will use to recreate the sendmail.cf with the sendmail-cf package installed.

However, Bcfg2 insists that the "sendmail" package fails verification because /etc/mail/sendmail.cf has been modified and I'm not directly managing that file. I'd really like to not verify the sendmail package or be able to tell Bcfg2 to ignore the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

A suggested method was to use BoundPackage to set verify='false' but this method just adds a second sendmail package to the configuration and does not affect the attributes for the package added by the Packages prereq generator.

As the title says, it would be nice if the Packages plugin auto-added "Essential: yes" to the spec.
