AFAIR, it used to be for long-dead Kiosk project, several years ago
(Kiosk was declared a dead project by the end of 2006). .bundle files
(downloaded through http) were containing special instructions to
trigger specific urpmi behaviour (adding a media, installing RPMs from
this media). It was not used since.
