The point of /package is not to create manual work, you download software package (not related to /package) and the software shall be ready, so you just unpack it, it is installed.
/package system is not related to package managers, it is related to file system hierarchy.
Do you know that sysutils have some binaries that collide with the SysV binaries? There is conflict. But maybe I do want to use SysV binaries, instead of Sysutils. With GNU Stow having all packages in /package I can choose which one to use in /usr/bin for example. In fact, I am going to see how to get rid of the /usr/bin as it is totally not necessary, all the /usr stuff and all. That is from history. GNU is Not Unix. I am not forgetting it.
Maybe here more philosophy: http://code.dogmap.org/spf/
