Well, the only reason to deliver the runtime stuff in package form is 
if you really support building the end application with packages. (which is
sometimes further complicated by letting the designtime package depend on
the runtime one) Otherwise DCU's are simply put in the path.

Strictly speaking a Delphi package is not always dynamic (.dcp, see
http://wiki.freepascal.org/packages). Comparable with a .a and an archive of
.ppu's for FPC I guess.
