It's a good point, but at least some of the big dependencies would be avoided.
On my LXC container with only nginx or so, installing ffmpeg adds:
0 upgraded, 150 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/94.3 MB of archives.
After this operation, 317 MB of additional disk space will be used.
(and this is with --no-install-recommends)

Yeah unfortunately I was kind-of expecting this answer. I still think it's a
valid wish (especially with all those cloud environments) but I can understand
the maintenance problem.
