Well, I consider it abuse of header files to put an implementation in there. And comparing including a c-file to IOCCC seems very exaggerated.

My experience with dependencies in Debian-derived distributions is actually very good, far less problematic than any other packaging system I ever used. But yes, one needs to maintain dependencies separately for RPM and others distributions. But obviously the problem is not lack of a package manager and adding another one would not solve anyhing: https://xkcd.com/927/ The solution would be standardizing package names and versions across distributions.
