I am not sure I follow you. Exactly because Leopard does not have package system I proposed the easy_install model. On Ubuntu we should NOT do easy_install, because this should be covered by the package system (unless easy_install somehow invoked the package manager on Ubuntu). Yes, there really are python-m2crypto, python-thisandthat packages.
easy_install doesn't cover any of the large systems that could have an impact on download size. Sure, we can use easy_install for all the python packages that are present on some systems already, that would be an improvement over our current distribution system. I thought you were concerned about download size, though.
The problem is that there are many Java runtimes for Ubuntu (and other Linux systems). We could easily build against one, and make it a dependency, but it would suck for users who have some other Java installed already as they would then have two Java runtimes.
How about building from sources :) ?
I don't agree that adding more dependencies to Java would be a good thing. While PyLucene are JCC are cool, I would be much happier if we didn't need to do it.
