Exactly, I heartily agree.

I love RPM packages, but prefer to roll my own from original sources.  It
would be stupid to only produce RPM files and it would be a shortcoming to
produce only *.tar.gz files.

What might be a good idea is to support "official" packages - of any format
- that are maintained by someone else.  Then the netatalk people could
concentrate on the code and those of us that don't code so well could
concentrate on the packages.
