Building infrastructure for that transition today would be like keeping a
car garaged and maintained for the next century years because I might want
to take a drive for the turn of the century.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and Ubuntu won't look much like
it does today when we do.  It's entirely probable that we'll have replaced
every relevant component of the packaging system by then.
