Yes, preferably. To give an example, if for some reason there was a security vulnerability in snappy, it would be great if the distro doesn't have to go around checking which packages might package their own snappy, and instead can just update the canonical snappy. This goes for the other stuff, too. I should really have helped out more on making it easier to build against system versions of these apps, but that requires some autotools and/or Erlang foo that I really don't have. I filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1458 for snappy two months ago. Cheers, Dirkjan
