Yeah, sounds awesome :).

I think depends is fine for now. We can still rethink it, if someone has
different needs ;).

Except the comment below, feel free to directly push your changes :).

/usr/share/sensor_msgs contains srv/ as well. I would propose to put it
into the msg package as well. Same hold true for some other packages.
