How about a Smart Package Format?

[Joseph Smidt]

I really think the Smart Package Manager is a revolutionary idea.  It
will be a great day when all linux distributions can use the same
package manager.
        However, different distros will continue to fight over what is
the best package format.  .deb vs. rpm's etc..  Wouldn't be great if not
only there was a universal package manager all distos can share, ie
smart, but also a universal package format that is designed to work
great with the smart package manager.

  Isn't
having a new package format that is revolutionary in design and works
directly with the smart package manager which all distros would benifit
from adopting a good idea?  Maybe it could in the future be the official
format for LSB, again, a format revolutionary enough that all would 
benifit from it.
