I agree.

I was thinking about creating a debina package
lualatex-modules
(or similar) that contains:
luatextra
luamplib
luainputenc
luaotfload
luafontspec
or even single package for all five of them. This way we can update
them more easily ...
The other option is that I will rebase the debian packages of TeX Live
against one of the current svn revisions -- something I will do anyway
now and then.
What do you think? The question is primarly on how fast those modules
change and we need to update them. If once in a while togehter with
the rest of TL then we leave them in, otherwise we can think about
factoring them out.
Best wishes
Norbert
