I think your document should be neutral on the choice between
packaging-only and all-inclusive workflows.

Personally I am a 100% all-inclusive partisan but it is clear that
not everyone agrees :-).

Your DEP will be most useful if it documents best practices for each
of the commonly found layouts.
