Use static libraries and provide a single binary. Why do we need dynamic libraries, unless we want to provide multiple binaries for a package?

Static linking could achieve the goal without violating the Linux model.

Static linking has the same disadvantages as bundling own libraries, with
the addition that you can't easily see which apps bundle which libraries,
making e.g. security support that much harder.
