It's a good point, but at least some of the big dependencies would be avoided. On my LXC container with only nginx or so, installing ffmpeg adds: 0 upgraded, 150 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/94.3 MB of archives. After this operation, 317 MB of additional disk space will be used. (and this is with --no-install-recommends) > > The additional complexity that this requires is not worth the maintainer > effort.

I still think it's a valid wish (especially with all those cloud environments) but I can understand the maintenance problem.
