A quick question about byte-compilation



Greetings!

I have a little problem here, notably with ERC. The problem is, that
it includes support for bbdb, speedbar and emacspeak, in separately
loadable .el files. This wouldn't be a problem if the necessary
dependencies weren't as large as they are. So, I see the following
options:

- package erc separately from erc-bbdb, erc-speedbar and erc-speak,
  which will result in three rather (<10k) packages, but each one will
  have only the dependencies it actually needs
- package erc, and erc-extra, the latter containing the three smaller
  snippets. The advantage is that we'll have one larger package, but
  the dependencies won't be right (eg, if someone wants to use
  erc-speedbar only, he shouldn't need emacspeak)
- package erc, and include the mentioned three scripts and avoid their
  byte-compilation in the postinst, and add the appropriate Suggests:

I'm favouring this latter one, but I'm not entirely sure it fits in
with the emacs policy.

Can anyone enlighten me on the subject?

Thanks,
