Please define "portable"?

Debian for one does not need a GtkAda-based installer because it
already has one, called Synaptic (as well as a text-based installer
called Aptitude). Most other self-respecting distributions come with
both installers and a proper package management system. So, what
platform are you targetting that does not already have these? And why
do you still use that platform?
