That's good feedback. I had not considered npm, pip, ruby gems and the like.
As for the examples, which I believe you are referring to, I like to provide a lot of examples as that is what is meaningful to me when I am looking up information. But you are correct, the package managers themselves didn't really have a direct path to each other, and thus the examples do not show that.
I never used Synaptic for RPM based systems but definitely for DEB based ones.
I still have occasion to build RPMs from their 'spec' files, although, thankfully that is rare these days.
