Are you suggesting to package the entire build as a single package, or 
separate packages for each module?  In the latter case, you'd need to 
know about some post-install commands to run after install (e.g. 
registering gconf schemas, rebuilding icon caches, etc).  It might be an 
issue for  former case too.
