No, now there is a cuda-*.run that contains three .run archives:
developer driver, examples and the cudatoolkit-*.run that we need.
So the "repacking" is just "give me the .run that I know to handle".

Real repacking could probably reduce the .orig.tar.xz size significantly
(the 2 .runs now sum up to nearly 900 MB, it was even above 1GB with the
extra .runs hidden in there), as there is a lot of duplicate stuff now,
e.g. 4 copies of eclipse ({nvvp, nsight} x {i386, amd64}, but currently
they are shipped-as-delivered anyway, I was experimenting a lot to use
the system eclipse installation with 4.1 and finally gave up (see
#660908)) - the .orig.tar.gz has doubled its size from 4.2 to 5.0
