Wow, i will have to digest all that. As a packaging ranter, I'll say that depending on 10 py-foo packages is not a big hassle as long as:
most of those don't update constantly, and when they do the changes are minor (API/ABI compat, not a lot of churn in installed file organization) We don't require a bleeding edge version, so if they do publish a point release every month, it's fairly infrequent that one is forced to update them in order to build. For pkgsrc, now that tahoe is packaged, then to build from git I can just install tahoe, then uninstall it leaving the deps. (From darcs, above plus make ghc work and then make darcs work and then learn darcs :-).
