Comment 1 for bug 1334668

All of the OSes we currently support have policies that ecnourage pulling in dependent libraries rather than having multiple varients of packages. There are a few exceptions, for example Debian and Ubuntu have nox varients of emacs, but by the time you get to systems as complex as Moonshot, pulling in libraries is what the packaging policies of the distributions do. So, since we wouldn't actually do this at the packaging layer, it wouldn't end up being useful.
People who disagree with this should raise an issue with Redhat, Debian and Ubuntu packaging practices/policies.
If they make headway there we can discuss whether revisiting this makes sense.
Resolving this would be a lot of work.
