I had a similar idea, but one big problem remains: architecture:
all. Every script would have to source these, and _every_ path
has to use them. The same goes for manpages and other
documentation, but there the situation is even worse since they
are not executed (thinking of -doc packages).
Then there are lots of binary programs which are not using
autoconfs facilities to make path's configureable.
In short: if things where the way they are supposed to be, it
would be possible, but since things are not, It would be a _lot_
of work.
PS: I was one of those who wanted to manage the free software at
theyer solaris sites with dpkg and friends, but after I realized
that I would not only have to heavly modify every package, but
also much of the software we package, I gave up on it.

each employee took turns suggesting a different language, tool, methodology, or
approach to a new business requirement, vehemently disapproving of all other
ideas. This game awards double points for using an acronymn unknown by the rest
of the group, but imposes heavy penalties on making one up.
