We call that a "subsystem" in engineering. Heh :)
Generally speaking, it's good design if a system can have physical modularity
to some extent, ie logical modularity is evident in the case of X11 but
physical modularity makes it more sensible to deal with.
Therefore, a system that uses an efficient unified filesystem implementation
instead of a packaging system to keep track of file locations would be much
more consistent than Debian.[*] I'm hoping to see something like that with
the use of more advanced kernels.
Thanks,
[*] So every package looks like X11. Packaging system's responsibility is
making sure that the system is consistent and in a working state rather than
showing you which file is stored where...
