Yes.  Integrate support for Suse's metapackage format into
all distros via PackageKit.  I don't know if that'll fly,
but it's the best hope I can see.

If we can make the standard packaging options slick enough,
it might start convincing a few of the holdouts that
still think they need their own installers.
