No, the problem is that the distributions don't agree on what is in a certain package. If my package depends upon a certain library, which package is it in, and where is the library installed? The answer changes for SuSE, Fedora/RedHat, Debian, etc. The backend database is a technical issue, easily solved. The package name/contents issue is a social problem, not easily solved.
