Knowing the distinction between pip and opkg is good for advanced users, but vaguely confusing for less advanced users. We should provide a smarter package installation experience that requires less knowledge to do it right.

I wonder if what we should do create a download/install command that does a search instead of the user specifying -pip or -opkg. I imagine the search order would be something like:

This would be particularly useful in the case of things that we've built binary wheels for already, but are also present on pip.
