I don't mind... unless someone sees some side-effect e.g. for xorg
extension  - may be for xorg extension we could eventually provide
somehow configuration/debconf to enable it automagically when package
gets installed?  So I would vote to join scraping + standalone but may
be leave xorg extension separately?  if for extension we don't need
anything of common -- we better suck common into the tightervnc-server
package providing both scraping + standalone.  So 2 pages instead of 4?
