+# The configuration for the package manager starts with the
+# *backend* key, which picks one of the backends to use.
+# In `main.py` there is a base class `PackageManager`.
+# Implementations must subclass that and set a (class-level)
+# property *backend* to the name of the backend (e.g. "dummy").
+# That property is used to match against the *backend* key here.
+#
+# You will have to add such a class for your package manager.
+# It is fairly simple Python code. The API is described in the
+# abstract methods in class `PackageManager`. Mostly, the only
+# trick is to figure out the correct commands to use, and in particular,
+# whether additional switches are required or not. Some package managers
+# have more installer-friendly defaults than others, e.g., DNF requires
+# passing --disablerepo=* -C to allow removing packages without Internet
+# connectivity, and it also returns an error exit code if the package did
+# not exist to begin with.
