I've thought of this as well, but ended up with the conclusion that it
wouldn't be all that valuable.

Think of NQS like you think of Eclipse - it's a framework for running
plugins that you manage within the application itself. Packaging
system has very little to offer for an application like that. Since
NQS has to serve users of lesser operating systems as well (Windows
and Mac), such a component manager needs to exist anyway. Making a
separate solution for Debian/Ubuntu would be nice for those users, but
would overall deliver so little value that it's not worth the effort.
