I think we need to add:
* Library ABI handling and support for parallel installation of multiple
versions (as discussed in another thread [1]).

Thanks for mentioning it. I second that notion.

We solved this by installing to /usr/share/<pkg>-<slot> where slot is
roughly the ABI (we increase it every time a new version breaks
something using the library).
Very nice. So you actually allow a package to be installed in various
version numbers in parallel? How do you handle man pages and all sorts
of stuff like that (e.g. executable in /usr/bin has version number in
command?)
