How does a packaging scheme solve the problem of not compiling in
dependencies, or linking everything static?  You cannot pre-build all
possible combinations of selectable options.

As for knobs that just say "build foo" or "don't build bar", those would
indeed be fine for a packaging system, as long as packages aren't too
dependent on each other.
