As a matter of fact, I was just thinking about that a little while
ago while installing slink from the new boxed set.

Looking through the package list, I would probably split them up this
way:

 task-palm:
   pilot-link
   jpilot
   pyrite (* see below)
   palm-doctoolkit (* see below)
   pilot-link-perl (* needed by pilot-manager)
   pilot-manager

 task-palm-devel:
   prc-tools
   pilrc
   pilot-template
   pose
   xcopilot (contrib, but perhaps it should be moved into main and
     packaged with a uCLinux ROM as default? :)
   pilot-link-tcl

My own packages, pyrite and palm-doctoolkit, could easily go in either
package... Pyrite is a development library and will cause a bunch of
Python stuff to be brought in as dependencies, but it also has
user-level backup/install conduits.  Also, palm-doctoolkit is an
application which end users might like (e-text conversion) and it
depends on pyrite.

If nobody else is interested, I'd be more than willing to maintain
this...
