Makes sense. We can later add metapackages on top of these, if needed. You are right that there is no need to complicate matters further here. > As for the versioning concern I raised earlier: if I bundle everything > under one source package, the build system should ensure that all parsers > are updated and released in lockstep with the editor version, which > effectively eliminates the risk of broken dependencies during release > windows. > > Does this consolidated "Core/Extra" plan sound like a more sustainable path > forward to you? The core/extra separation makes sense to me, yes. The versioning makes sense too, but there is one concern (which I don't think there is an easy answer to and is a general limitation of how we in Debian stuff multiple upstream packages together): When multiple upstream packages are lumped together, then we are mre likely to miss XZ-style security flaws on some of them. You are quite welcome to go ahead with your proposed plan.
