Description
It would be nice to start scoping what an integration with orb will look like. I suspect the Dune lockdirs contain enough information to make this possible without much trouble (i.e. they could replace the opam switch --export bits of Orb), but it would be nice to check if there is no fundamental blocker.
Orb comes with a nice infrastructure (tooling + hosting) for reproducible builds, so it would be great if this could be adapted to dune pkg.

Research direction
Start by examining Dune lockdirs and the existing opam switch --export information referenced in the issue, then read Orb's tooling and hosting model. Determine whether lockdirs contain enough data for Orb integration and record any fundamental blockers. Done means a documented feasibility assessment and a concrete scope for adapting Orb to dune pkg.
