Squeak was recently removed from Gentoo Linux Ebuilds because of security issues in our bundled plugins:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247363
While it is convenient for us to bundle external library sources, package maintainers do not like that practice. Is there anything we can realistically do about it?

Yes definitely. They do not all wrong. It is not necessary to duplicate the external code. If i read correctly, there is some security issues with the current Squeak/Pharo VM.
