Hi Moritz,
(warming this post up again ...).
I see your point!
And I am aware, that dependencies might be changed in development versions.
QGIS has some nightly builds e.g. with ubuntugis dependencies.
Maybe snap could be useful? There does not seem to be a snap for GRASS yet:

If you guys think this is of interest, I could have a look at it in Bonn (and
maybe join forces with QGIS project if the relevant people for the QGIS snap
[1,2] are in Bonn too).
I didn't know snap, but somehow, I have the feeling that with Docker,
snap, etc we are going back to a world where each software package
installs each of its dependencies separately, leading to the same
library being installed multiple times on one machine. I guess cheap
disk space and containerization makes this a bit less of a problem, but
it still just does not feel right when you come from the beautiful world
of coordinated packaging in Debian and others distros.
:-)
Moritz
