Native packages are preferable, if system will have required versions
they will be used, in other cases bundled blobs will be used. But all
users will download fully bundled .xos since we dont have 0sugar support
in shell and people are disagree w/ having activities(that download
content on first launch) in existed ecosystem.

yup, it will be targeted to 0.82+ (and for systems that don't have
recent pycairo which is required for v9, in fact we have 0.86 systems
that are not ready to use v9 as is e.g. Jaunty based distros).
