There isn't a roadmap yet.

Yes, as much as possible. Falling back to just getting the source, where 
nothing else is possible.

Something in between. We can map upstream names to Inqlude ones and the to 
downstream ones. There doesn't need to be a 1:1 mapping.

What do you mean by "all the KDE repositories"?

No, that's out of the scope of Inqlude. It will be possible to use it as an 
integration point, but Inqlude won't do more than just installing existing 
packages.

No. We can do distro integration with whatever native tools and whatever 
distro sources for software are available. Depends on somebody doing the work 
of implementing the backend, though.

Absolutely. As long as somebody implements the needed backend, of course.

The Inqlude tool just calls native tools from the distribution, so it doesn't 
matter much, how the distro does it.

At the moment it's just what I hacked together as a prototype, that's correct.
