Depends on how it works.
The way I see it :
* You can get your packages anywhere : Haikuware, bebits, haikubits, a CD
you bought at the local store.
* You install them by a imple double click
* Then, the package manager is able to detect updates and dependancies as
needed.
The package manager may come with its own GUI for adding packages, or it
may not. It oculd have all the community part integrated, if you want so
(comments, ratings, all that stuff). Or it may just serve as an installer,
updater, and uninstaller, leaving the work of building a community to a
website, which is fine for that.
