Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a follow-up on this topic (maybe somebody will have the same question in the future).
All ideas have been helpful but fpm is awesome :) I now build rpm's from software which do need dependencies, pre/post(un)install scripts etc., but if there's no need for that, simply packaging a plain a .zip or .tgz with fpm is so simple and painful that even some other teams are happy with it and adopted the tool. That way our git repo can be kept at a small size, which is useful if used in combination with r10k and dynamic environments - every environment would take up the whole size of the the checked out modules - so I'm glad I asked - and you replied.
