It only works well if both distros put everything in the same places and have all the dependent packages named the same (i.e. it doesn't work easily). Better off making both, and not making either of the two package manager userbases feel like second class citizens. Basically, make a .deb and a .rpm and you've covered almost everyone who is used to package management. Those who are not used to having package management don't need packages!

Why not use the /opt directory? If it doesn't exsist on the computer you can create it and add /opt/bin/ to their paths

/opt is for different things... than games.
Main prob is some distros split packages up abit & are named slightly differently. Which can get annoying if making a rpm (/ debian packages already in the works). But wont be a show stopper
Really need to follow fhs layout guide ideally, unfortunatly abit vague on place for games togo. So some distros put games data in slightly different directorys

What does it matter? The package defines what goes where, so it can tell what to remove when you "uninstall" it. No harm done?

Why the hell install in a wrong location when u can just install in the right locations. U talking about 1 line change in rpm
Rather than using a wrong location & then altering configs to add /opt/<foo>/bin to path. Not all distros use the same way, and could break someones distro path setting if not carefull.
When some distros use different config files to store that value.
Be easy enough to have multiple rpms for distros.
Worst case with multiple rpms / debs is 1 line change for location.
And about 5 lines changes for different descriptions of packages needed to install spring.
Anyway discussion is pointless till someone steps up to maintain rpm / debs.

Only RPM is still needed.
Cyril Brulebois and I are working on getting debs in Debian (and after that, Ubuntu, hopefully feisty+1). The debs are already available for those interested. (in this forum section)
