Tom is the right person to ask, but I have the feeling that 2 points
at least need some special care :
 - autoloads, or more generally "package activation"
 - documentation, or "how to find in the Info system the entry to the
   documentation of the installed package"

Other than that, a package management system would be of course
incredibly useful to emacs. We may even, at some point, use it to
lower the minimum size of the emacs base distribution. I often hear
that emacs distribution bundles way too many packages. And I sometime
experience this feeling too :)
