Do GNU package utilities exist?

I am looking at writing my own software package installation utilities,
basically mimicing the SysV/Sun Solaris pkgadd/pkgrm/pkgetc.. interface.
These utilities would, for systems without such programs, enable the
system administrator to easily add and remove software from the computer
system, without a lot of headaches -- using a common, standard
interface.  (and yes, I plan to GPL it and make it freely available)

However, I wanted to check and make sure nothing similar already exists.

Has GNU/FSF, or some other public source, already produced a robust set
of software installation tools?

	thanks,
	Jeff
