For the package metadata (e.g., summary, description), one needs to ensure that the character `|` does not appear.

This is because we use the character as a separator internally.

Failing to do so may result in `qvm-template` to fail with cryptic error messages.

### `qvm-remove`

Should work straightforwardly.
|

The existing `qvm-remove` tool should behave identically to `qvm-template remove` -- albeit without fancy features like disassociation.
|
||||
This is unlike the previous situation where `qvm-remove` cannot remove RPM-installed templates.
|
||||
|

Notably, the metadata needs no special handling as it is stored in VM features and thus automatically consistent.
