Well, My point of view is that you could ask upstream to do 3 tarballs and
separate them. And if upstream don't want to do that, keep all 3 modules in one
package. They are not big so it's not annoying having them shared in one
package.
What I hope you will not choose is to separate the 3 modules in 3 package and
keep this tarball with the 3 modules inside. That's bad !
