No,

It's not.  I just hit this lack of complete dependency information the other 
week with debian.  All my problems updating to the latest pcb cvs were due to 
incomplete or overlapping dependency info in seemingly unrelated debian 
packages.  Some of the parts of systems like X11 or Xorg were undocumented snags 
probably since they were self tested, but not against eachother since of 
different vintages.

Using the static built Klik package may be the best way to promote good FOSS 
tools with recent libraries.  Sure, it has bloat because of the static build. 
The users who want that fast install don't care.
