Ideally, yes.
I'd be inclined to suggest we start by drawing up a provisional
list of which distributions it's worth considering providing
packages for.

How different are the spec/init.d/conf requirements of the
distributions under consideration? If there are files that can
be used in common across multiple dists, then it wouldn't
seem sensible to have duplicate versions. If they are all
significantly different, then parallel subdirs would be sensible.

But until we've decided which distributions we're interested in
supporting, and hence what the relevant files look like - it's difficult
to make any sensible suggestions.
