I also would like keep moby-engine (also known as Docker) and I will
help if you need .

After analyze go packages, I think we got the same kind of problems of
nodejs, which is, too many packages and each package has very few lines
of code and make other packages have enormous number of dependencies .
In conclusion to maintain it, we will spend a lot of time. I'm thinking
for example docker should include all other specific deps like golang-
github-containerd-* , golang-github-moby-* 

So we should try to solve this problem. I'm against this fragmentation
of the packages, i.e. in packages guidelines allow may have different
sources same package .
