This sounds like a great idea.

I've done a couple of Debian packages for personal use only, and have
subscribed to (but don't have time to follow properly) the Debian
development lists.  If Scott does RPMs and handles the burden of the
tough stuff (the scripts that configure the MTA, for example, and
detect potential conflicts with common locally installed software the
way teTeX does on Debian, at least), I'll book up on dpkg.  We can do
a compare & contrast.

Unless somebody thinks they can do a better job :-)
