I think that this is a grave mistake.  (The mutilation,
not necessarily the integration.)

Firstly, like Murray, I am missing the documentation.  Not just
for learning how a function is supposed to be used but also to find
a suitable function in first place.

Secondly, we are often enough forced to dig into the library functions
when are not properly working.  We *want* to help, but having to
that with a merged giant script bereft of sructure, layout, and
comments is like having insult added to injury.

That whole shebang of having (a) "true" source scripts, (b) packages,
and (c) unpacked production scripts has always been needlessly
complex and over-the-top for my feeble mind.
