Target 1 should be a drop in for the current setup - it'll still read
tarballs, it's just had a new format added.
For target 2 to be used, we will need to repackage the existing packages
with dependency information. After that it could be (should be) used .
For target 3 to be used, we will need no changes to existing packages.
