will do so too. That's why I tried to do an architecture that works
without root privileges (in many cases at least). But maybe there are
are already plans how to address this? I must admit I'm not all that
well-informed about SuSE's one-click install.
We've discussed this in detail on the PackageKit mailing list.

OK. I wanted to get as many parties as possible on board, but now
let's say: whoever likes to follow this discussion is encouraged to to
join packaging(a)lists.linux-foundation.org [1]. Follow-ups should only
be sent there.
Sure, you probably want to see the FAQ and mailing lists archives for
PackageKit too. There's a real reason PackageKit doesn't support OCI,
and another reason it supports catalog instead.
