Maybe, but there's a larger problem we have with the packaging system:
helping users find the appropriate software for some task (installed,
or maybe installable).
The biggest obstacle here is the sheer volume of files and packages.
I think something on the order of an "index by subject" is the right
solution. [E.g. the firewall people might want to start a general
set of indices on security related binaries and documentation.]

I'm not sure I understand why combining it with suidmanager would
help?
