And there's the case of tiny embedded scarce systems too. If posix compliance is needed, these packages (and maybe others) can be easily installed, though an additional POSIXLY_CORRECT global setting would need to be done also. Maybe we could decide to create a package called "posix" that woult depend on all of them, if really needed and someone cares to spend time on that. But if you need to use software that need e.g. bc, the package certainly already depends on bc anyway.
