I also thought so given my previous experience with conkeror, but it is
actually more complicated than a "simple" xulrunner application (hint:
look at the build.sh script).

While I agree that both packages should come from the same source, after
having heavily discussed with Michele Cane (who actually offered help in
this same ITP [1]) we went ahead and both packages (zotero-standalone
and the LO integration) are on their way to be uploaded [2].  The merge
can be done later on, also considering that the last uploaded version
for xul-ext-zotero is 10-month-old.
