Great! I hope you’re aware of previous efforts like stdeb (unfortunately
requires setuptools) and py2rpm (for rpm systems but some parts can be
inspiration, like the download code). I follow debian-python so we may
encounter each other there.

I wonder why you need to compare versions from different projects. What is
“it” in “it broke”? If it’s a regular distutils command, please paste the full
command and log; if you meant you used the LooseVersion class in your code,
then I’m afraid I will say this won’t be fixed: this is not a public class.
distutils2.version however does contain a public class that implements PEP 386;
even if the project is still in alpha (and I want to make a few renamings and
API changes), you can still use it (and when I break your code a quick look at
the CHANGES file will help you update).
