Interesting. I could see participants that would offer assistance in
having IPS support ('cause we'd like to help) and possibly SysV
support, but I haven't seen anything that would suggest that help
exists to get other packaging systems supported. It would seem to be
a significant extension of the original requirements to assert that
the current contributors support a list of alternatives.
