I can add that if you like. packageFormat would just be an absolute file
path, which shouldn't get any results from any of the other attempts to find
a structure. So then Plasma::PackageStructure::load would load the path and
register it in PackageStructurePrivate::structures. Would this be the Right
Way of doing it or did you have something else in mind?

This was left over from a failed attempt to get plasmagik to load the
PackageStructure generated using the Generator app automatically. Maybe the
Generator app should register the saved packagestructure in
PackageStructurePrivate::structures as well and then
Plasma::PackageStructure::load can be called.
