I'm another distro builder that uses the Gentoo framework. I can only
agree. I had to roll my own binary package format and after a short

While Gentoo is fantasitc to build stuff, the binary packagement has
some serious issues. It would be really nice if Gentoo could be better
on supporting other binary only package managers.
