Probably we could use what I began to write at
http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-modules/lib/ProjectBuilder/Distribution.pm

> distro Debian = debian
> version Debian = sid(unstable),woody(3.0),sarge(3.1),etch(4.0),lenny(stable,5.0),squeeze(testing,6.0), ...
> arch Debian = amd64(x86_64),hppa(parisc),i386(i486,i586,i686)

I'd like to extend the proposal to add some additional info I need on my
side, and that could also fit here:

pkgtype Debian = deb
pkgtype Ubuntu = deb
pkgtype Fedora = rpm
pkgtype Mandriva = rpm
pkgtype OpenSuSE = rpm

family Debian = du
family Ubuntu = du
(manages all debian-ubuntu aka du distro the same way wrt packages)
family Fedora = rh
family RedHat = rh
(manages all these distro the same way wrt packages)

Also: 
update Debian = sudo apt-get install
update Fedora = sudo yum -y install
...

I'm also needing the extension for packages, but could be added later
on.

How can I help with this Bryan ?
Bruno.
