I'd actually really like it if it was a repo. Add "http://steampowered.com/fedora/username/securitytoken http://steampowered.com/fedora/username/securitytoken or /debian/ (etc.) to your list of repos, then apt-get install steam. The username/security token stuff is provided so that you get a dynamically generated repo, which includes access to the games you've bought. You could then install games via apt/yum (and I'm going to go ahead and assume they're all statically linked and include all needed binaries, because traditionally, closed-source games on Linux have forced users into dependency hell). Steam then becomes a marketplace and apt/yum frontend :). (Of course, I doubt very much that this is realistic; it'd just be awesome)
