Honestly, their stuff is pretty sane - it's just that they are so
bleeding edge,
Really?
If so, then the standard approach to packaging would be to wait with
packaging an application until the libraries' upstreams have caught up.
Or differently: If a distro doesn't provide the requirements a package
requires, then this package can't be included into a distro.
The standard approach in such cases would be to resort to packaging
"older versions" of the application.
