‘–dump’ list of packages

It wouldn't work.. the --dump is targetted at the names you
identify packages inside Smart, while URLs are locators to
package files.

As an example, the file name may be mypackage-file.ext
while the package name/version could be pkgname-1.0. Notice that
this isn't fictious. Some distributions do have unusual naming
schemes (not what rpm is setup to produce by default, for instance).

With that in mind, I wouldn't like to mix these concepts under
the same option.
