You might be interested in checking out what parts of the portage API
are used by the Gentoo PackageKit backend, and making sure those are
supported in gentoopm. Even more interesting would be completing a port
of the PK backend to gentoopm. This latter part is clearly beyond the
scope of your project, but it would be really useful after the summer
ends.
