Problem is, if it's the "Debian core" then other people don't wanna base anything off it. If it's a more or less dist independant thing, more would use it. It would probably wisely NOT include a package system but the result could be a priority Required (or equiv) package. It wouldn't replace section base, certainly. I'd love dpkg to be the de-facto standard package system, but it's just not gonna happen since many don't like ANY package system. This is why people tollerate broken dists like slackware.
