(1) Actually, there is no a general purpose installer in Linux.

(2) Nobody take care about it because it is not a problem.

(3) Your real problem - root FS space and bad "optification" can be solved in many different ways. See for exam - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59374
Or there is some development for "Join" file systems.
