There is no issue tree-wide, because no one else is trying to cut
corners and bundle every dependency of every package. All of our
dependencies are in separate packages, with separate LICENSE variables.
So when you install one package, the LICENSE variables of all its
dependencies pulled in by the package manager are indeed taken into
account. That's the whole point of a package manager -- it can do these
things for you if the developers do their jobs and package software
correctly.
