Puppet upstream is distributing their apps this way (bundling), same with Chef. So why do we want to create extra work by forcing packagers to extract these and repackage them? I did this for Chef and ended up with ~50 rubygem packages [1]. Is it worth the time and effort? What do we gain from doing this? This is the discussion that I would like to have.
It makes sense for upstream to do that, so you can get it up and running quickly. But as a distribution, it does not make sense to bundle everything with everything. After all, it's appliances makers that cry for "make it smaller, share more" all the time. And after that we defined our policies.
