hmm,this is tricky problem,because if we want to get distro's own 
package managment to work side by side with baker
we probably need to add framework for that package managment's package 
database(commands search,delete/add package).

because if i install package from baker and install package with 
gentoo's portage,rpm,etc... that has depency of package we installed 
with baker,
it doesnt find it because of gentoo's or rpm has it own package database 
and it's not there. i'm not sure but i dont think distro's package 
managment tools have install indicator like this.

badly explained but hopefully you get my point....
