Hey, just a question --- how should we handle packages that have different names on different package managers? Like, I'm looking to have the program install build-essential on Ubuntu with apt but base-devel on Alpine with apk.

Also, how can we have packages that should be installed with Homebrew install in parallel alongside packages that should be installed with apt-get?

I built something similar to this, you can see here: https://github.com/megabyte-labs/install.doctor/blob/master/software.yml

The installer script is under home/dot_local/bin/install-program (written in ZX) but I would definitely be interested in contributing / switching to this installer instead.
