I did not test/qa nor devel this, but to my knowledge, the yum plugin 
part is not needed for 5.0 RHN Proxy to work, though would be for RHN 
Proxy 4.2.

Also, we modified the rhn-package-manager command to correctly calculate 
start/end values for package headers, so that if you re-upload a custom 
package it will have the right values and the 5.0.1 RHN Proxy will 
correctly download the package.

So, if you have a 5.0.1 RHN Proxy, a re-upload of the package to the 
custom channel, *should* resolve the issue.

Reviewing the Release Notes (which I did review before being released), 
it seems we are lacking here - for clarity :( Sorry.
