Hum I think this line is there for a dependency check, as in package can 
be fetch from a
mirror if it runs into trouble if not then it's a bug that the "method" 
entry is added if not needed..

I experienced one time while testing preupgrade that it needed and tried 
to fetch the package
online ( there also seemed to be missing some sanity check on network 
connection before it tried to fetch the
package in anaconda. it hanged for to long time before ui window which 
allowed me to set the network connection popped up).

Been awhile since I tested preupgrade so it might be fixed..
