commit f9c24a2e75a81965dc82b528d73d71582fa68803

    Add restricted rpm verify
    
    Backport of commit 1b3fc3f.
    
    Add a default call to rpm -V/--verify for a targeted subset of
    packages. This greatly reduces the time taken relative to rpm -Va
    while still capturing important diagnostic information.
    
    In future this capability could be made a feature of the
    PackageManager class interface and available to all ports/modules.
