The reason we don't use such things is that we just prefer to use 
specialized programs for similar purposes (like video players); it's 
probably connected to the UNIX traditions.

Yes, the dependency trees of some packages are huge and so it may be 
very time-consuming to get one package working if large part of the tree 
is missing/stale.

If there were more active maintainers, together we could manage more 
packages... (and I don't consider myself being active)
