  Well, then they should package it? It really has no unusual dependencies, and the only one which isn't available everywhere I checked (libstemmer) can be disabled via a compile-time switch.
  I am more after the "too many dependencies" claim than after distros not having packaged the library, because the latter is relatively easy to achieve (KaOS could just pull the Arch Linux package).
  Speaking of Arch Linux: Their package has an unnecessary dependency on protobuf, python2 and intltool.
