Maybe you have your reasons that I don't understand but package management is distribution related. Generally Linux distributions are built around package managers. There are rpm based ones like Fedora, RH, SuSE and deb based like Debian, Ubuntu. There is opkg in OpenWRT and something that I can't remember right now in Arch. So package management is tightly related to Linux distro. Detecting Linux distribution is easier than searching for rpm or dpkg commands and checking if they are dominant package managers on the system.
