Guys,
although this might sound like a good idea, please remember a couple of
things:
* upstream generally doesn't know well about respective
distributions build system which means they will most likely
make mistakes and end up not maintaining it that much
* downstream already does the job of packaging for their distro
fine with people dedicated to that QA checks, ... as long as the
package is well behaved (like most autotools/cmake based
packages are), the work is even easy
* your favorite distribution provides an easy way to
rebuild/update yourself the package, apt-get source, rpmsrc, cp
for gentoo, ...
I hope this makes it clear that downstream stuff has no place in
upstream repositories.
