I appreciate your efforts and idea of having a common package management
system across all/most linux distributions. I took a look at your git
repository above. And I realized there are already a few package
managers which work similar to your idea.

Take a look at `pkcon`  provided by `packagekit-tools` in Debian.
It is also present in various other linux distributions, I have used it
on a few other distributions including Fedora, Gentoo and even on my
phone's Sailfish OS.

since pkcon does already what you are trying to achieve here, and is
also very matured in terms of functionality that it provides. You seem
to be just re-inventing the wheel.
