I think it's a very good idea to look into a userdir-centric packaging
system such as z-i. There are of course a few other alternatives, and
very well considered critiques of these systems (from OS-centric
packagers usually ;-) ) so we don't have to hope we've diagnosed all
the potentiall pitfalls -- others have.

So a couple of questions -- out of curiosity, no intention to start a
flamefest.

 - Is anything making z-i specially interesting?

 - What pitfalls will our individual end users and deployment teams
face with it?

cheers,
