Package managers are a working solution now. There's no way you'll get
the thousands of software titles out there to change to solve your
problem, since it's not a problem for most of them.
Use a package management system too and you'll solve your problem!
To address specific points:
> To have package managers which work on only one or two sub-flavors
Sub-flavors of what? Unix? Well these tools are free, so adapt them to
your flavor. Obviously the one or two sub-flavors have solved their
problem (It's much more than one or two. Just about every GNU/Linux
distrubition has some sort of package management system).
> only on the software downloaded from one source
RPMs often come from different sources (I don't view that as a plus),
and Debian packages just about everything!
