useful for what additional purpose?

seems to me that we already potentially have this information now, with the
combination of:

1. modular gar, now makes it easy to automatically determine where
   in the tree a package comes from:

   (csw/mgar/pkg/{softwarename})

2. the PSTAMP is supposed to automatically get the version information now
  already.

So, this "additional information" field, would seem to me to be redundant
information?
