Rosen,
We have talked about adding easy_install as another way to install
packages. It would fall into the rosdep definnitions. There is a ticket
here to add support
https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/2608. Doing this
was too much for the last overhaul of rosdep. Our hope is to get a more
robust rosdep syntax for the next generation.
Right now we are limited to a single package manager per OS. But you can
define arbitray bash scripts as rosdep targets. For example log4cxx on
hardy in ros/rosdep.yaml in boxturtle. How to do this is demonstrated in
the Tutorials in the rosdep documentation
