I think one valid point the OP makes which each of these suggestions — in
isolation — seem to miss, is there are *too many ways to do it*.  The
suggestions you (and others) make are great, but how discoverable are they to a
newbie packager? Conversely, how (non-)discoverable are the myriad bad ways to
do things (the hello package is a good example of this.)
