• If you want to input full package bytes, but ignore the payload section, you should use input_package_without_payload.

• If you want to get the package's payload and its metadata, you should see it with input_metadata_with and input_package_with...payload. It's very important, because the value of the RPMTAG_PAYLOADSIZE tag is not just the payload size, but also includes the size of the package header plus the payload.
