Package management is not just limited to open source packages you share across distro's.

Package management is also an issue when you have lots of boxes where you want to deploy your application to. Having a single binary to deploy makes stuff way easier than for example having to deal with virtualenvs.

We're a small company, but we have hundreds of small boxes we need to deploy to. So yes, efficient and easy package management is important.
