Yeah I've used Debian for a long time, I like it a lot but
don't say necessarily it is better than other distros.

In particular, I think the package manager system and whole
idea installing stuff explicitely from the command line should
be replaced by a declarative system. It would have rollback
features and all, but that's not the most important thing, the
most important thing would be to have the system configurable
and setup with precision and ease in text files like you do
everything else in computing ...

Maybe Stefan and Tomas can tell you if this is happening ...
but I didn't hear anything it is, so I guess not.

It could look like asdf for CL perhaps that I know you're
familiar with [1] - and actually that can be improved even
further, as "depends-on" would be inferred :)
