Yes, in theory. But this didn't work well in practice when arch linux tried it. It meant that installing pandoc forced installation of a very large number of dynamic libraries, and people really didn't like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/6jj8ha/whats_going_on_in_archlinux_pandoc_requires_1gb/
