Hi,

Of course. we already have that:

But we'd like to feed back to the community as much as possible.

We're following FHS and the Debian/Ubuntu scheme (eg. openerp main
tree is at /usr/share/pyshared/openerp/). Addons are splitted into
separate packages, with canonical package names.

That should be pretty straighforward, and I dont see any technical
reason why distro-packaged installations should differ from that
on other distros. (manual deployment is a completely different issue)
