We already have sessioninstaller, and I’d prefer if we had only one
package manager backend that works well instead of 10 that work badly.

We really need to sit down and think about the future of package
management for the desktop. The situation in squeeze is not a
sustainable one, and misguided upstream choices (such as PackageKit) do
not help.
