Its not about package-ing, its about re-installing. for example, I installed libgsm (in sabayon/gentoo world its media-sound/gsm package) for a specific purpose (for libdhvani development). No other common/basic application depend on this library to come to your system automatically when you do re-install your main distro 6 month once. You have to remember it or not it down somewhere and have to re-install this library. In sabayon, I installed once, and its rolling whenever there is a fresh update to libgsm in sabayon repos.
