IMO, it would be desirable to not have things like yum or apt appear in the template explicitly. For many packages it seems like at least the top level package names (not including distro specific versioning strings) are equal across distros so when specified in a template it should be possible for a software deployment hook (which can be distro specific) to figure out how to install the package.
