Research direction

Start with getdeps.py to trace how distro and package-manager options are represented, then inspect manifest.py for existing package options such as dnf and apt. Done means Arch Linux and pacman are supported and the pps (pacman-packages) manifest option is accepted; pull request #1702 indicates this work may already be underway.
