I would be extremely interested in potentially merging this script with
pallet, a multi-packaging library I'm writing that works well with
Rakefiles. Right now I only support building Debian packages and Ruby
gems from the same source, but I'm hoping to add RPM support in the near
future (< 1 month) for a talk I'm doing at the local RUG. This would be
a huge start.
