      Title: EPEL-Repository is wrongly removed during conversion
      Description:
      During converting Rocky Linux 9.4 to RHEL 9.4 the package `epel-release-9-8.el9.noarch` containing the configuration for the EPEL-Repository is also removed:
      ```
      ========== Info (No changes needed) ==========
      (INFO) REMOVE_SPECIAL_PACKAGES::SPECIAL_PACKAGES_REMOVED - Special packages to be removed
      Description: We have identified installed packages that match a pre-defined list of packages that are to be removed during the conversion
      Diagnosis: The following packages will be removed during the conversion: rocky-gpg-keys-9.4-1.7.el9.noarch, epel-release-9-8.el9.noarch, rocky-release-9.4-1.7.el9.noarch, rocky-repos-9.4-1.7.el9.noarch
      Remediations: N/A
      ```

      As the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) provides packages for RHEL it should not be removed.
      https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#what_is_extra_packages_for_enterprise_linux_or_epel says:
      > Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is an initiative within the [Fedora Project](https://fedoraproject.org/) to provide high quality additional packages for [CentOS Stream](https://centos.org/) and [Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://redhat.com/rhel) (RHEL).
