The question is, what are the projects requirements for packaging. If we need to have different packages for different linux-es then izpack only benefits us on windows.
However, if we want to have 1 uniform packaging framework, and not care about rpm,deb,etc.. then perhaps we can tweak izpack to work on all platforms. Bear in mind izpack requires java to be installed. Also, by making .rpm, .deb it would allow us to include the software in those repositories. With that, what do we want ?
