Nothing that it couldn't handle, but AFAIK, we don't currently
have the infrastructure in place to deal with splitting, merging,
obsoleting packages, moving files from one package to another, etc.
I know it can all be done with dependencies (do 'optional minimum'
deps work yet?) but adding those deps is a manual process and not
trivial.
