The way I pictured it for Gentoo, I'd install, configure my USE flags, and then instead of running 'emerge --sync && emerge -uDvat --newuse world' every morning, PackageKit would do it in the background and just tell me when there are updates, leaving Portage to deal with the configuration. PackageKit <i>is</i> meant to work on top of the "native" package management system, right?
