There wasn't enough disk space to do deliver statically-linked-like apps by default in the 90s.; I think around the time Debian started I had a 386DX40 and a 1 or 2GB hard disk. Traditional distros are able to install the same apps side-by-side, such as python2 and python3, if they put their mind to it. It is just a bit clumsy. Sounds like they didn't allow for that with your app. That's a shame, I guess you could ask or cough up a donation to help? I generally just wait for things to get packaged in the regular distro, but it is nice to have choices.
