Addendum:

It gets in the way in a multitude of ways

1) it destroys the flexibility of the module manager by partially
sidelining it (or even rendering it powerless)

2) it favours some of our modules (those freely distributable) versus
some which are not so free.

To state this very bluntly - I rather have GS, libsword and BT not in
Ubuntu and Debian than having our modules partially packaged and
partially not.

If this is the case that the modules "need" to be packed, then I think
we are better off by having a "private" but well publicised
Debian/Ubuntu compatible repository.
