       There are several hints discussing package management for LFS, but
   nothing under jhalfs. There used to be a patch for PACO that I cannot
-  find now. This is a modification, which allows to use a package manager
-  inside jhalfs. I hope it is flexible enough to support several package
-  managers. My implementation uses dpkg, from Debian, in a very crude way.
-  Debian has a sophisticated package management system, which I have not
-  tried to use here. For example, it should be usable with Pacman from
-  Arch Linux (http://www.archlinux.org), as far as I remember from my old
-  days with DIYL. I am sorry to say I have (almost) no experience with
-  rpm, so I cannot tell whether it would fit.
