package management still a consideration?

Hello,
I am not in the LFS team, but I can say I am truly concerned about PM.
I am trying to use (I hope with success) pacman.
As far as worked, it seems to fit very well with my way of doing things
I am eloborating some packages with pacman and drive the overall process 
with nALFS (I apologize, I can't get away of it)
If I am not too slow, I will publish my results, if someone is 
interested, but I lack time then don't be impatient

my purpose is to obtain a kind of distro than can be updated and managed 
throught a web interface, then there's is a lot of work.
For the time of writing, I have nearly all packages made in pacman way, 
a xmlrpc server to manage configuration files ( a part of) and a web 
interface (in the eGroupware framework) to interact with the xmlrpc server.

I hope to achieve all of this in the respect of the KISS statement but I 
still have a long way to go.

JC
