What's hard about building packages?
The thing you are not getting, is that with packages, and the infrastructure to support them, you only do the hard work ONCE. So you say its hard to package your software?
A good systems engineer or admin, knows that sometimes taking a little time more to setup things right in the first place, saves an invalable amount of time later.
And to your staff snide.. well, i've managed 300 os installs ( virtual and physical ), with only a developer as a release engineer and me as the admin. Yes, eventually we needed more admins, but it was because of the complexity of our environment, and SLA's, not because of the work of packaging + deployment.
