It certainly sounds like a good idea, although the Universe already 
provides much of this functionality. It's quite easy enough to get a 
package in there already. On a practical side, a repository like this 
may be very hazardous. There's already enough problems in Ubuntu when 
you install from 3rd party sources and upgrade from one version to 
another. It's probably best to get 'homebrew' packages checked and fixed 
by Motu's, and get it in the Universe instead, where it can be tested by 
the community first.
