Excuse my butting in, but I think you missed the point that Shaman isn't
PackageKit, and doesn't cater to the same audience =)
If I've gotten it correctly, it's more for the "power"-users who don't
necessarily know a lot about Linux or packaging in particular, but isn't
afraid of learning it. Dario, wkai or Lukas might know this better than me
though, I could be way out here.
