Literally - around 30min after the announcement I wanted to start looking at a way to get it running under Arch, but there was already a 6th version of the packaging script available online. I'm not sure what do you mean by fragmentation exactly - sure all distributions look a bit different and have some specific approach to packages/configuration, but apart from that it's all almost exactly the same. If something works under ubuntu, there's no good reason it wouldn't work under other distributions.
