We had RPM-building stuff contributed a while back but i don't know if it's 
used. We also had patches for the debian build system but that was mainly 
to show us the requirements that build system had of our source tree.
There was talk of integrating the build systems properly (then we could 
have a nightly updated debian / yum / urpmi / whatever repo of -unstable, 
etc, etc) into our source tree but we didn't quite get there. It's easier 
for the packagers if they can easily tweak the package-related scripting 
themselves, and we weren't entirely convinced it was a good idea for us to 
take on package-related code anyhow. That said, it does seem like it would 
have pretty nice benefits.
Cheers,
Mark
