The module split for the main development platform was to make things 
easier for maintainers.  You are suggesting something that is going to 
make life more difficult for maintainers with very little gain.

I can't speak for other binding authors, but gnome-python can build when 
only the Gnome development platform libraries are installed (things like 
the gnome-print bindings are only built if gnome-print is present), so 
they don't add any hard dependencies to the build.  I wouldn't be 
surprised if other bindings are similar.
