If I can work in the configuration option and change the code to check
before building the package list, is this something that could become
part of the next revision or should I just maintain my own diffs?

I was also thinking of taking this a step further and setting up some
type of security around the packages that the agents could view, so
the sales people wouldn't be able to change or view the root and system
accounts that the server depends on. Would this interest you?

Note taken.
