Ok, as long as this program is provided by the distro itself, not a 
bunch of semi-broken scripts cooked by the third-party vendor (as it's 
usually the case). And it's rigid enough the software provider can not 
make it do fancy stuff to appease marketoïds and legal vultures. ie no 
optional feel-good screens - if people want to be creative they can play 
on their own webserver.

(not that the usual closed vendor won't abuse to death rpm scriptlets to 
hose the system anyway)

As others noted, the problem usually is not the installation but the 
fact no clean package exists at all.
