Honestly we likely don't need 3 different packages but I decided to go
ahead that way because upstream keeps them separately (they are small
arch:all packages providing just shell scripts after all, which means
adding almost no load to buildds at all).
I'll get in touch with upstream to try to convince him to merge them
into a single all-in-one script though.

Thanks for your time and work,
Cheers!
