Implementing is easier said than done, and I think you got that idea from the lack of response from folks...
I don't see why this should be all that difficult to implement.
In part because different people want different things from the packaging, with often conflicting goals. Those conflicts increase pretty quickly when you take into account different platforms/type of development (desktop apps vs "libraries" vs webapp vs etc...). The "cross-platformness" alone, with the underlying philosophical differences on how to do deployment (bundling vs backward compatible dependencies, etc...) is quite hard to manage. David
