Personally, I don't this idea. Maybe you want to install one package
from source and another directly using a binary. I think we should
separate the different package formats/types from each other. So for
example (the layout is ugly, I know ...):

  |             |                     |
  +-------------+---------------------+
  | source-icon | Terminal 0.3.5      |
  +-------------+---------------------+
  | rpm-icon    | Terminal 0.3.5      |
  +-------------+---------------------+
  |             |                     |
