Looking through the archive, I get the impression that one approach which
could work is to collect multiple separate works by some related theme,
and distribute some smaller number of larger, aggregate binary packages.

Examples include the packages ‘emacs-goodies-el’ and ‘devscripts’: these
pacakges don't go to special effort to integrate the code, they just
bundle them together for ease of packaging and maintenance.

Would that be feasible for small JavaScript libraries? Surely many of
them can be grouped together by some common theme, and maintained as
aggregate Debian packages.
