AFAIU that's not a problem; we can just provide more ways to package
the system gradually, just like what Linux did:
Kernel packaging:
rpm-pkg - Build both source and binary RPM kernel packages
binrpm-pkg - Build only the binary kernel RPM package
deb-pkg - Build both source and binary deb kernel packages
bindeb-pkg - Build only the binary kernel deb package
snap-pkg - Build only the binary kernel snap package (will connect
to external hosts)
tar-pkg - Build the kernel as an uncompressed tarball
targz-pkg - Build the kernel as a gzip compressed tarball
tarbz2-pkg - Build the kernel as a bzip2 compressed tarball
tarxz-pkg - Build the kernel as a xz compressed tarball
But it seems that this package thing is not really that welcomed (and
after all we have multiple specfiles here and there). Then I think
I'll just live with it now.
