We certainly have no shortage of "universal package managers". Most package managers try to do just that.

I can see how apt may be an "universal package manager" because Debian has everything, in several variations. But it only works a the Debian-style package database.

What I mean saying "universal" is an ability to adapt to any sane package database, among other things.
