 From my POV, it looks like the anithesis of what LFS should be
about.  Yes, individual users should keep track of what they
install, but any package management process should fit the
individual user's needs.  For some people that implies a tool, for
others it doesn't.  Paco seems to be well-supported by its
developer, but it isn't LFS.  And if, by some mischance, a package
management tool becomes part of the book, who is going to support
the users who then want to update packages (particularly toolchain
packages) ?

ĸen, still without time to devote to lfs.
