Sorry, I meant the smart-config packages as in plural - I have a few

But there's usually something like "foo-release" which provides the
apt/yum/smart repository configuration, such as rpmforge-release ?

Didn't mean that it is useless, both the "sync" channel plugins
and editing the .channel files directly surely have its uses...
