I really don't want to leave source out. Source is text, and text
compresses well, but having source is important to the constructionist
ideas we subscribe to.

Certainly in principle it would make me sad to leave out source. But what I'm building currently actually isn't the full source, it's just the source required to run, so things like the build instructions are left out, and potentially tests (depending on how the activity is factored). So it's not a complete package anyway, and maybe supporting two packages (akin to a rpm and rpms) would be a better over-all solution? OTOH, without the source the tracebacks won't be able to give good context, and even if you aren't editing the code it's useful to have that context. So yeah, this probably isn't a good optimization.
