To be fair though, there are multiple distro-agnostic package platforms becoming available. For example flatpak, snap, and even electron. I realize this last one is essentially a webapp build tool, but that's sufficient for a number of tasks. The first two can package nearly anything, and can even offer additional benefits (principal of least privilege) on top of a typical deb/rpm. Edit for clarification: it should be feasible to target libraries rather than full distributions.
