Maintaining autoconf/automake stuff is a pain. Using it is usually as simple as "configure;make;make install".
It doesn't do dependency management though, which is an externalised cost. But that's what rpm/deb do.
I see the attraction of containers and disk image based management. It's much less time consuming. But it's very much the opposite of ISO9001-style input traceability.
