The problem of packages not being packaged is not solved by more packaging systems.

The problem of libraries not being packaged is solved by distro-agnostic packaging systems. Why do you think everyone uses PyPI, Cargo, Go modules, NPM, etc. instead of this insane "package your app and all of its dependencies for every distro" idea? Pure lunacy.

It is not difficult to package for the most important distro (the others usually import from them). Those distro-agnostic packaging systems are popular because they basically have no quality control at all, so it is basically no effort to package for them, just register a github repository somewhere. But this is also why they are full of garbage and have severe supply chain issues.

sure, it is solved just by one with good packages coverage.
