I think we all understood this, so a cooperation to make native package creation possible is desirable. OTOH you should accept that it's up to the users (at least those who maintain their own system) to decide wether they want to profit from a centralized software management or if they want to install something through the Package Manager GUI by themselves. At the end we don't make our software for the distributors, we do it for the users. If an admin doesn't want to allow this - no problem, the PM GUI can be removed easily. If I'm my own admin - why shouldn't I be free to do what I want? And of course we still have some Windows users. :-) So don't demonize the OOo packages and the Package Manager. If the native packages are so much better, they shouldn't need this overstatement.
