Well, that's just plain silly, IMO.  As you go on to say, it's wasteful
of space, and involves multiple groups having to fix the same bug(s)
over and over, etc, etc.

If you do decide to move away from Ubuntu, but wish to maintain a
familiar environment, moving to Debian may suit you.  It is, of course,
what Ubuntu is based on.  All the tools are the same;  apt*, synaptic....

If you want a more up to date suite then you may prefer Debian testing.
It's what I use.  I do, however, compile one package from source
(Claws-Mail) although it's not really necessary any more, since the main
development (of Claws) switched to GTK3.
