Sure!

While we're talking about dependencies: it seems that every source
tarball contains its dependencies. For example, cgl's tarball contains
coinutils' source tree.

There are tarballs containing the full distribution at:
http://www.coin-or.org/download/source/CoinAll/

It seems to be a a little older (the last release is from january
2012), but it would be massively easier to maintain than having N
source packages. What do you think?

I believe it would be OK to upload in experimental.
