In general I of course agree ...

... but in this case (with 3 very small packages) my concern was that
additional binary packages add additional overhead to the archive,
mirrors, and users' system for no real gain. Or in other words: if
the overhead is probably more (just guessing here) than the actual
code then splitting up the upstream dist might be undesirable.
(But I'm fine with leaving it as it is, I just prefer to see a rough
consensus.)
