So do a mix? Make system libs shared and apps bundled when they are needed? Can't the app store work like your package manager anyway? Speaking from ignorance here, I want to know if it's possible.

The Click-n-Run app store from LindowsOS back in 2002 was based on apt and dpkg. So yes, it is possible, especially if there are automated tests that can tell when a dependency update breaks something.
