We have the same sort of arrangement with Eclipse Jetty. The simultaneous release includes Jetty and it's included in the packages (to support the help system), but it's not a participant in the release and is not listed as an installable feature.
Your project can pull in the required bits of Eclipse BIRT, but will then be responsible for them. I am getting some faint hope vibes that the BIRT team might re-engage, but those are fleeting.
