Split package would mean creating new source package with single object
file which is supposed to be installed into phone. I think this is
simply too big overhead.
Also from another point of view, gnapplet is unfortunately not usable
with recent Symbian phones, it works only for older Symbian version, so
it's user base is quite small.
Given these things, I will rather stop distributing gnapplet.sis in
binary package than introducing new source package.
BTW: p3nfs package has exactly same problem.
