I've been thinking about this. With my limited knowledge of other packaging
attempts (eg. deb, ebuild for Gentoo) I seem to remember that that is the
approach they've taken - different files for the actual scripts. This does
however, add moreresponsibility on the packager in that he has to maintain
more than one file. 

Getting a resounding "yes" vote on this might be difficult, but is seems
like the cleanest solution.
