I think the big problem with doing this cross-distro is having consistent names for packages everywhere. It might be a good idea to start with just pkg-config names and/or library sonames? At least those can be mostly figured out automatically with most tools.

+1 for SONAMEs.  APK Tools can easily convert between them, so it’d be trivial to use for Adélie and any other system that uses APK.
