Please think the other way round: - most linux distributions (exceptions LFS I know about) want to install packages
Some packages (such as gnome) have dependency information, but only encoded in "configure" scripts or READMEs. Rubyforge and PyPi (don't know what's current in python community) do have some limited readable information. At least my nixpkgs-ruby-overlay is based on it. Thus maybe there is a way to convert dependency information rather than duplicating the work. Even omitting "dependency information' - just knowing about the latest stable version - would make it easier to keep nixpkgs/NiJS/guix up to date IMHO.
