I'm working on a package management system (unfortunately I have not yet finished the filesystem library to a point where it is stable), but if you're looking for a package management system other than .deb or .rpm, and wish to easily package your programs into a single format for reinstallation, you might want to keep an eye on AppTools ( http://code.google.com/p/apptools-dist). It doesn't require a whole package management backend to be installed (i.e. the caches and dependency management stuff that apt and rpm does) and through the libraries provided you can easily implement extraction and installation of packages into your own software installer without requiring external applications to be run.
In any case, it's a simple system which will probably suit your needs for installing applications when you install the distribution (other than just a basic tarball since it's capable of resolving dependencies and organising applications).
