This is not possible - if a user calls one of these
programs, (s)he will get the error message:
/usr/bin/xyz: error in loading shared libraries: libXyz1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and (s)he will file a bug report! I don't see any reason
not to have many small packages - it's ideal for people who
want to "streamline" their machine.
