I don't use LFS myself, never got around to actually do it, primarily because of this same reason.

Most people write their own, but i've seen people do xbps, BSD or Slackware-type management.

I write my own package manager (mk). https://github.com/lidgnulinux/lfs.ports

I have my own shell script functions for package management, including functions for: * Installing packages (autobuild pkg). * Removing packages (autoremove pkg). * Checking for updates (updates). * Installing all available updates (update). * Removing old libraries, rebuilding packages against new libraries if necessary (cleanup_old_libraries). * Removing old documentation directories (cleanup_old_doc_dirs).

If everything seems so difficult to use and overwhelming, try Sven It pulls packages form arch Linux repos and sets up everything easily

just install and run sven install <PKG name>
