+Monolithic Source Package
+`````````````````````````
+Although this package builds several loosely-related binary packages,
+it is better that they are all built from this one source package
+instead of creating one source package for each component (using upstream's
+guidelines in the PACKAGING file, or his separated tarballs). They share
+dependencies on some libraries that cannot be readily packaged properly
+(shared, with proper sonames) on their own.
+
+See also upstream's comment on this issue:
+https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2015/05/msg00075.html
