Hi,

Aren't shell aliases enough for this job?

if [ -f /etc/arch-release ]; then
  alias list="pacman -Ql"
  alias owns="pacman -Qo"
  alias sea="pacman -Ss" 
  alias inst="sudo pacman -S"
  alias rem="sudo pacman -Rsn"
elif [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
  alias list="dpkg-query -L"
  alias owns="dpkg-query -S"
  alias sea="aptitude search"
  alias rem="aptitude purge"
elif [ -f /etc/exherbo-release ]; then
  alias list="paludis -k"
  alias owns="paludis --full-match -o"
  function rem() {
    paludis -u --with-unused-dependencies -p $@ && \
    read -q '?Continue [y/N]: ' && \
    paludis -u --with-unused-dependencies $@
  }
fi
