Keep track of which package an artifact is in

We have a requirement that we should be able to deliver a release of an application to an empty runtime or verify if the runtime is correctly filled with a certain release. DBB keeps track of build results and build maps. However, none of those include information about what package an artifact was delivered in. When doing impact builds, a full application release by definition is formed from a number of packages. One full package and one (or perhaps more) incremental packages.

At the moment of the build the artifact might be added to a package, we would like to see a solution that keeps track of that relation.
