Why not an universal wrapper script ?
maybe something like:
magic-uncompress [-t <format>] [-c] [-o <output>] <input>
This script could try to find out the input format automatically
(the optional -t parameter allows to explicitly specifiy the format)
Once we have this script, ebuilds could be rewritten step by step
and no one (else than magic-uncompress) has to care about the actual
commands behind.
Some could be done w/ tar and zip, etc.
