And at this point, you remind me of relocatable RPMs.  When I learned about 
those, I thought they were really cool, and it seems to me that a relocatable 
deb is something that would be fantastic for this usecase since it could be 
installed in the user's home directory.  Of course, debs can't be relocated 
(yet), but details, details...  

There is a point where OSX gets it right with those .dmg files that you can 
just keep sitting on your desktop and run.  I have a ~/Applications/ directory 
on my user account at school to get access to various Free Software apps the 
school doesn't preinstall.
