thanks, wish you too a happy new year!

This depends if there are things that only need files from
z-push-common, for example if a webserver don't need other packages to
get work. OTOH there are still a lot of packages and the number should
be decreased much as possible ...

Currently I would think much about this, if it's easier for you to get
recent z-push version running than just do it. If we will come together
and think about a upload into NEW we will look into every package again
and will make a final decision then.
I can't say much about a "correct" package structure as I'm not that
deep into the interns of z-push anymore.
