I prefer to export the number of broken packages instead of a boolean
value. You can still use it as a boolean value, but it has the benefit
that you can also know how many are broken.
But we should probably export some more of those _count attributes, so
nobody says after the release of 0.8.0: Hey, I need the attribute
inst_count.
