Yes, that's exactly what `cblrepo` does through its package database.
Of course it only does this with the packages in a single database,
there is no support for multiple databases.  There is not even any
support for merging databases.

Please elaborate a little more on the details of how that would work.
I'm more than open to making changes to `cblrepo` in this direction if
necessary.
