Description
Does it ever make sense for us to generate:
* .deb files (debian/ubuntu packages)
* https://crates.io/crates/cargo-deb
* .rpm files (fedora/suse packages)
* https://crates.io/crates/cargo-generate-rpm
* https://github.com/Firstyear/cargo-lock2rpmprovides
* arch packages
* nix packages (#73)
Probably? Requires some consultation with people who use this stuff.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by consulting users of Debian, Fedora/SUSE, Arch, and Nix packaging, then define which package formats and workflows cargo-dist should support. Done means the supported formats and implementation scope are agreed.
