While zypper is a very powerful and useful tool, I've always found package management on linux to be a huge duplication of effort and storage(ie multiple versions of a program for not only each distro but also for each version of each distro).
I haven't noticed anything about this on this list.
Maybe because they completely ignore the packaging process? Its a way of describing and installing binary packages. It completely ignores the generation of the binary. Just read their developer/packager documentation.
Packaging existing binaries is one way to use it. However, authors can also use it to publish source archives.
