Why does the ZMD show fewer installed packages than are shown by the rpm -qa command?

The rpm -qa command shows the imported GPG keys (gpg-pubkey-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx) that are not actual packages as installed packages. The ZMD filters the GPG keys from the list of installed packages, and therefore shows fewer installed packages than are shown by the rpm -qa command.
