Whether it solves that problem appears to depend on your definition of the problem. To me, it appears as if every library required by every application was stored together with said application, and that every version of every library and application ever installed was also stored. That’s surely nice if you have large disks, but it is neither going to work for phones nor for (sensibly-priced) SSDs. I agree, though, that it does look like an interesting project, but also have to admit that I’m quite happy with the state of package management in Debian – including the idea to force everything into the dpkg/APT framework.
