First rule of C package managers on Linux: "wrap distro package manager or GTFO". This doesn't seem to abide by that, at least from scrolling through the FAQ. I might've missed something though.

Coincidentally, distro packages are reproducible for good distros these days.

What if you want a library that isn't available in every distro? Or a specific version of a library?

I don't think anyone follows your "rule" because it would be such a mess.
