The first obstacle that comes to my mind is how to discover the packages. There needs to be a central index of repositories which includes searchable metadata for all of the packages provided by those repositories. It will be something like gpo.zugaina.org, with the ability to download the whole database, and update the local copy incrementally. -- Thanks, Zac
