I don't think that will ever happen.  I regularly use three *nix  
systems and each has a different package management systems and I  
don't think I even want a unified package manager.

Tools like setuptools, zc.buildout, etc. seem great for developers but  
not very good for distributions.  At last year's Pycon I think there  
was agreement from the Linux distributors that distutils, etc. just  
wasn't very useful for them.
