I only looked at synth briefly (and stopped when I realized that it's written in Ada), but my impression was that it's written with a different use case in mind and is designed to reuse binary packages. > Who said you have to build it from source?

The "officially build versions" may be absolutely fine for you, but some people prefer not to use unreproducible binaries they didn't build themselves: https://reproducible-builds.org/ > lightweight refers to performance, not the fact that it has dependencies. That's hardly obvious.
