It's probably better than mine.

So mainly what you want do is an apt-get fork? The problem I see here in that
is the
how can you know if the user is a debian or slackware user, in the server. The
only
way I'm seeing here is doing some tweaking in the apt "procotol". So the server
code
would also have to be changed. Which I think apt folks wouldn't really like.
If you are seeing another way to solve this problem, or if I'm not quite
following the
apt protocol, please enlight me :)

Well that's the easy part. Mainly the core of this tools will be the
sync'ing with servers, retrieving the packages and their deps, that's
the part we have to think and discuss, the localhost part is (probably)
just a bunch of perl scripts;)
