Everything looks perfectly fine the way it is right now.
Changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff does nothing but 
cause other people problems. Forcing a package moves which 
incramentally makes doing package updates take longer and longer 
over time. It also forces people to run fixpackages more than 
they really should ever have to. Sometimes even causing a full 
remerge of the package. Please just be happy that the packages all
exist and are being well maintained after.
