The Linux model of package management doesn't work for newer languages. In particular it is heavily reliant on dynamic linking, which tends not to work when you have (a) an unstable ABI (b) generics (c) a culture of static linking.

We'd be far better off finding a way to dynamically link templates, so you get the security benefits of automatically updated dependencies that dynamic linking gives you.
