That are exactely the issues I saw also while trying to debianize shinken
in the past. With a well written setup.py you can:
 - install in your home directory
 - run "python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command debianize" to
 build a .deb at any time.

Not familiar to this, but read about a month ago (from a french guy btw):
Did the wheel format bring any improvement in this area ?

Not so shure about this - you need still a good base distribution maintained by 
trustfull
people with long term support.

Better system administration tools - salt is an improvement in this area,
but there is much room left in this area. But that will need time, so this is
relying on to be written software...

New tasks for shinken ;-)

That is also my feeling, while the classical distribution systems will be used
also - at least during the next years. One plus I see there is also the keeping
of record of configuration of packages you installed in the past in a cheap way.

But just my 2pence after Easter holidays,
thanks for your work and
