[Python-modules-team] When to split up packages?

Hi,

I plan on packaging django-storages[1], a collection of storage backends
for Django. Upstream currently includes one Python package with 10
modules, each representing a backend, most of them having dependencies
on other python packages (like python-couchdb, python-boto, ...).

What would be the best approach to get this packaged for Debian? Create
one package with all the backend modules in it and simply pull in all
dependencies?
Or create a single package for each backend with only the specific
dependencies on each of them? This sounds like overkill to me but I'm
not sure.

What do you think?
