Windows is a number of operating systems from one vendor and they have had many different installers with msi only being a recent thing.
UNIX is many operating systems from many vendors with their own agendas, priorities, compatibility issues etc.
Solaris - pkg
IRIX - tardist
AIX - lpp
HPUX - depot
Tru64 - setld
Linux - a veritable menagerie

seeded-in-ubuntu(1) General Commands Manual seeded-in-ubuntu(1)
NAME
seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze
SYNOPSIS
seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...
DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.
If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.
An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.
OPTIONS
-b, --binary
The packages specified are binary packages. This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
binary packages that every specified source package builds.
-u URL, --data-url=URL
URL for index of seeded packages. Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit
EXAMPLES
All the images that contain unity:
seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
