yes, it is. illumos, OpenIndiana and OmniOS use IPS as package manager
delivered by Oracle Solaris. We took Debian as the base.

I've read about it before I wrote this letter. Thank you.

Debian packages could be shared with DilOS target something like:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS),solaris)
        PLATFORM_ARG = dilos-g++
else # solaris
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS),hurd)
        PLATFORM_ARG = hurd-g++
else #hurd
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),sparc)
        PLATFORM_ARG = linux-g++-sparc
else #sparc
        PLATFORM_ARG = linux-g++
endif #sparc
endif #hurd
endif #solaris

it's from tqt-x11-free-14.0.6~pre5/debian/rules, of course, as example
