*insert obligatory plug for Gentoo here*
Seriously though, I think it would work well, since you can easily modify
existing ebuilds to cope with new upstream versions that aren't
'officially' in Gentoo yet. And you have the source to everything AND a
package manager that can keep track of where 'make install' throws stuff,
so you can easily remove it (handy when 'make uninstall' isn't
implemented).
