You'll still end up with some "package" concept
True, but that's not an issue, it does allow you to install a "package"
and this package then will download the source from upstream. You will
be ask if you want to automatically let build the package, or if you
want to configure it first.
It occurs to me to ask: is there anything like this for Debian? (I know
about checkinstall, but it doesn't "download source from upstream").
