I suspect that it's more to it that meets the eye hence the time.
A first step with a simple solution that can be refined when we see the overall consequences. lrp format is a tar.gz and if we add a file that can be used at install time to it. I would suggest a stepwise approach. Break down into smaller parts that can be implemented stepwise. Build the unix way ie build a program that uses existing parts like apkg. When the parts are working together, then we can consolidate and also chose a different implementation if needed. Maybe use python as a base for system mgmt tasks, it has most of what we need. A file that can be handled with available shell, sed, awk, perl or just use make. Maybe a kind of MetaData/Manifest that states what is Required and list files with a sha256sum. This Manifest can be signed with a Key. The shasum can be used for verifying content.
