I was aiming for the majority - the nasty packages you listed are the
responsibility of the distro to abuse; the average autopackage user
probably doesn't care about them if the bright shiny new program they
just installed works.

OTOH, if the new package doesn't work or breaks the rest of the
distro, we have problems.

Basically, nothing on this world is perfect, but we can get a lot
closer than we are at the moment.
