I'm fine with this.

`buildModule(ModuleAttribute moduleAttribute, List<PackageDesc> packages, 
Consumer handler)` would emit `ModulePackages` unconditionally.   It means that 
it would need another `buildModule` variant that takes ModuleAttribute and 
handler only if no `ModulePackages` is generated.
