Combined installer should only be acceptable (in a modern way) on GNU/
Linux systems (and others too, maybe) if used through a meta package on
yum/apt/emerge repositories.

In systems with package management it's just definitely not smart to
have rpm -ivh gnome-office-1.2 (which would install abiword, gnumeric,
gnome-db, etc...).

But it would make sense to do:

$ apt-get install gnome-office#1.2
