Hi @peterlobster , if you want to submit a PullRequest proposal you could mirror what's been done for the Debian support (that is heavily based on a single back-end -> aptitude).

You wouldn't need to touch UI code directly (only abstractions if you need to display a confirmation popup, for instance).
