Seriously, how this is even supposed to be relevant? The whole point is to produce best-effort packages that work on still-supported mainstream distros, not any arbitrary "Linux" setup. Instead of lecturing people about what is in your opinion "intractable", how about you just shut up, if you don't have anything constructive to contribute?
