Honestly, if a particular development environment for a project required tracking 50 libraries not supported by any distro community and my development team was so small that I couldn't do that in a sane manner...
I might reevaluate the suitability of that particular language for the project.
On a side, it only takes marginally more time to build a package for a distro as it does to build the package by itself. If you've already got the build done, 3 experienced guys could knock out 50 packages in a week. Inexperienced (in this task), but competent, devs should be able to do it in 2 weeks.
