That's the point. It's not on the packagers to decide about quality of XBMC. This decision solely is responsibility of team XBMC.
Packager decide of the quality of the code they provide in general and are very caution security wyse. Duplicating code is just a way to forget that you need to apply whatever patches to a ton of software that has the same problem, not mentioning the various incompatibilities between various software licence when you do static linking.
