That's a good point. Another important distinction is that many of the apps in there are either broken, or just not in general useful to non-developers.
I propose that the more important apps, like pgl, battleship, blackout, pgboard, atomicnav, gridgame, etc. be included in their own packages, and that the apps that don't really do anything much like "demo" and "canvastst" are included in a picogui-demos package or something.
