But in Slony's case, that'd be a regression, not an improvement. It
is designed, on purpose, as a bolt-on. That's a feature, not a bug.
It allows you to do version upgrades with just a few minutes'
switchover time, to begin with, which is something that we don't
otherwise have.

If we want to fix the "in the tarball, or it's not real", we need to
continue to make packages easy to install. Nobody thinks that the
DBI is some sort of stupid tacky not-ready tool just because every
installation of Perl doesn't have it automatically.
