I know, that we don't need that field, but then we should remove 'replaces' listing from -Qi. Since we have some other not needed but interesting infos in local db (packager, optdepend etc.) I vote for remove that if(!local) line instead.

I wondered about the same thing for a while.

I see no reason to keep it out of the local DB, it's rarely used anyway. Dan?

Status on this? I couldn't found anything about this in git log.

I want to wait until 3.1.1 so it can get sufficient testing. Although I think the exclusion is weird, I'm not sure how our code will handle it on complicated upgrades as no one has produced a pactest yet to test such things. -Dan
