With the current distribution structure we have, putting sample specific dependencies inside the sample structure only going to make the distro bigger, right ? In the lib, at least, multiple samples can share the same dependency. Now, about the size of our distro, that's a totally different discussion, and I guess we would have to address it in the near future.
