The idea is not to put a concrete package manager into the book, but to 
make instructions in the book PM-friendly. I.e.,

1) add DESTDIR support to every package, instead of requiring each 
packager to reinvent the same wheel; this also means the 
"install-nokeys" target on the openssh page
2) verify that each package builds the same binaries (in the ICA-like 
sense) when built as root vs non-root.
