Besides the packaging (.deb/.rpm/.tgz), I also wonder why

And could we possibly do anything to make Harbour
"distro-independent".
We cannot due to different binary dependencies in different Linux
distribution. I do not believe that we will find anyone who can
precisely document all binary dependencies inside compiled Harbour
binaries and then will have enough knowledge about binary compatibility
in other packages and distributions to be sure which combinations
do not create potential troubles.
Maybe in the future Harbour will be default part of the most popular
distributions so binary distribution will not be our problem.
You can statically link in all the libraries. It makes a huge exe, but
it has no dependencies after that.
