If we would use an existing installer, I would suggest anaconda. It is 
originaly made by redhat (for rpm), but it has been ported to deb and to 
conary. I don't think that it would be too hard to port to gnu package 
managment system.

The real question is how will the gnu packages look like. If the stowfs is the 
choice, then the packages would most probably be some kind of tarballs (or as 
in .deb, ar archive with .targz data and targz metadata). It is not too hard 
to create something that would build & install such packages, but the package 
structure should be determined first. At least I would say so...
