Or just let specific distro package maintainers do their job.

Are you actually sure? _all_ stuff? _all_ distros? I doubt it.

It is not working, it just happens to not work for a very tiny
user base which is more likely to workaround the issue by
building from source other than reporting it.
Really, I don't care what the solution is. You can leave current
archive as-is and close that Fedora issue as invalid, it is not
that important. Just stop pretending it is supported for all
platforms and that it can _possibly_ be supported for all
platforms.
