I kept it separate, because it deals with DBs and the ABS tree, while
check_packages.py deals with the ABS tree only. On the other hand, integrating
it should speed things up a bit (you run parse_pkgbuilds.sh only once) and we
get rid of some duplicated code. On the downside the output can be quite long
with activated --vercmp, But I am not sure if that is even useful.

Somehow integrating feels like the better idea, I will look into it.
