reach even half of the intended audiences (look at
the recent Slashdot
coverage on the future of Linux installers which tells a sad story how

*autopackage simply didn't work.* After a couple of fixes, they got it
to work. Whoopee!! My reaction to that was "Why?" From my use,
autopackage didn't do anything more, or anything better, than the
existing Debian package managers already did ...
