Shaman, Debian, APT, Kubuntu, and stuff

[Dario Freddi]

Hello people,

You might or might not have noticed my post on planet KDE about Shaman ( 
drfav.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/introducing-shaman-a-new-universal-package-
management-frontend/ ). I have come to the point where the backend API is 
enough stable to be developed on, and extensive enough to let people do fancy 
stuff with it.

Shaman supports PackageKit natively, but since PackageKit lacks support for 
*erm*DebConf*erm* I was wondering if there was any interest and manpower to 
write up an apt backend (some also suggested to use aptdaemon). Some Debian 
developers recently got interested in such a thing, and I think it would be 
cool. Would you guys eventually be interested in such a thing?

P.S.: Soon there will be the possibility to write the backend in a scripted 
language (Python anyone?) using the additional burden to depend on 
kdebindings-python or whatever language you're using.
