If I understand what you're saying correctly, then I strongly disagree. A package management tool, by necessity, must be a common agreed-upon standard (otherwise it won't serve it's purpose). But if that package management is tied into build management then we're *also* forcing a single standard build system on everyone. So then instead of being able to choose your build system, everyone now has to come to an agreement on the same build system, which #1: Is unlikely to ever happen, and #2: Serves no useful purpose.
