Description
In system package manager world, the same package may have a different name in different linux distro package managers, example:
| Distribution | Package Name |
|--------------------|------------------|
| **Debian/Ubuntu** | `zlib1g-dev` |
| **Fedora/RHEL** | `zlib-devel` |
| **Arch Linux** | `zlib` |
| **Alpine Linux** | `zlib-dev` |
| **OpenSUSE** | `zlib-devel` |
| **Gentoo** | `sys-libs/zlib` |
| **NixOS** | `zlib` (via `nixpkgs.zlib`) |
It'd be great if we could build a mapping of all the different names to allow easy connection of dependencies regardless of OS
