Well, I seem to have a fairly negative reaction on average so far...

I just want to point out that if a user wants to install a rpm/deb 
package, all the tools are in extra/community already.  These packages 
would make it slightly easier to install them but also give the ability 
to create these package formats which is why I grabbed dpkg in the first 
place.
