Statically linking obviously only works in some situations like for essentials like openssh which i might want to leave installer on mmc... or for some minor dependency which would not add much bloat. And god forbid people bundle python runtime with py files

But it would be nice additional option for any package... in case you want to burn your own cd of favorite apps or just leave them on mmc... maybe 1 year+ from now people running those 50 repos wont be hosting it anymore.
