My last gig was for a company that solved the problem by rolling all known 
package formats for their product. My task was to take their software and 
roll it up into rpm, deb, pkg, etc for every possible type of packaging 
system. Tar files are universal (sort of), but the point was that people 
want their software to be delivered in the packaging format that's native 
to the system it gets installed on.
