Autopackage is not the only project in this area - Klik currently offers a different technical approach to the problem: <URL:http://klik.atekon.de/>. I believe that the lead developer participated in the recent summit on Linux packaging.
I was also surprised to see no links in the article to either this discussion: <URL:http://www.licquia.org/archives/2005/03/27/a<nobr>u<wbr></nobr> topackage-considered-harmful/>, or the original analysis of Autopackage by Joey Hess: <URL:http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/autopack<nobr>a<wbr></nobr> ge_designed_by_monkeys.html/>
Joey Hess is a lead developer of the Debian installer, as well as Alien and debconf. The discussion threads on the Fedora development mailing list regarding Autopackage installing into<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/ follow similar lines.
