Assuming this mattered at all to a court of law, a judge isn't going
to look at package structure to determine what's distributed.  A judge
is going to look at what winds up being put on the machine by the
distribution process.

Unless the license specifically gets into the technical details, the
bits on the wire don't matter very much.
