Yes, it would.  And this is something we've talked about on the devel
list.  Our position boils down to this:

  We want Koha to run on as many distributions of linux (and other OSes)
  as possible.  To that end, we don't want to produce an official release
  for one distribution for fear that we'll scare away users of other
  distributions.

  We would very much like people to produce pakages (.rpm, .deb., .pkg,
  .lpp, or whatever) which we could put up in a contrib area.

  We would also like to see turnkey koha systems (either a CD that can be
  installed on a blank system or a full blown koha server).

I think that these last two bits are excellent roles for koha support
company to fill.  It could give you a nice product and some good
postioning.
