Over here we were working on doing just that as part of our master
plan, although we were using debian packages across multiple
architectures. (Redhat, Solaris, and HP-UX)
The basic idea is you want to write a module that queries your package
management tool (in our case, dpkg) and then adds classes for each
package installed. Then you can perform copy, editfiles,
shellcommands, etc. based on whether a host has a package or not.
