I just want all the package managers to be able to use all the format types, just like File Roller can use RAR, ZIP, BZIP2, etc. Once that happens, the package format wars will subside as they won't be tied to a particular distro, and peace and harmony and Linux packages for all distros will finally come. Then, user's aren't screwed if a program only offers a DEB or RPM package for download when they aren't using a system that understands it.
