I never experienced that catastrophic breakage and I'm using Ubuntu as my only desktop OS since January 2009. When did that happen to you?
I have no problems with the standard approach. Actually, it makes me feel safe: a maintainer fixes a vulnerability in a shared library and all apps are fixed. If all apps shipped their own libraries I'd have to download a new version of all apps, if they ever care to fix their code.
