OK.  Done :)  See lp:~pkgcrosswire/bibletme/separate-common-package

One question: splitting the data out like this creates a new binary
package.  Does that mean that when uploaded to Debian experimental, it
is going to languish in the "NEW" queue?  Or will it still go straight
in because the source package (bibletime) is already in Debian?

Thanks,

Jonathan
