Then, you should also take a look at RedCarpet:

  http://developer.ximian.com/projects/rcd/

It's pretty cool, does all the management and updating of almost any RPM 
and Debian based system and can be accessed using XML-RPC (as 
demonstrated by the Python cmdline client "rc") !

At least for bootstrapping and keeping the "core" system up-to-date this 
should be pretty nice. For GNUstep I'm missing the capability to select 
library combos contained in the packages, but maybe this could be 
resolved at a higher level (eg having a RPM/DEB naming scheme for files).
