I don't plan on releasing in multiple ways.  Whatever The Way(TM) is,
that is the way.  If people want one, it's *just* one.  Maintaining this
stuff is enough effort when it only needs releasing in one way.

I guess the question isn't so much tarballs, but whether there should be
a build script in each.  I guess not, if we're doing the all in one
thing, and encouraging that all the way through to the package manager.

Programs and documentation should be packaged separately though.  Since
most build systems that build docs do it all in one go, I assume
packagers are already accustomed to piecing up things that are installed
in one command by the source build system?
