Nobody has suggested to split it up. But until this is sorted out,
we should maybe keep the existing individual packages, unless there's
a good reason to remove them.

Look into the WHENCE file and be horrified. Taking just the first ten
items (of a total 114):
Unknown license (3 times)
GPL, but without source (3 times)
"All rights reserved"
BSD, without source
Right for redistribution not granted
"Permission is hereby granted for the distribution [...] as part of
a Linux or other Open Source operating system kernel"
With one exception, we are not even allowed to redistribute these.
