Could be, but shouldn't be. For example this plugin has a lot of
(optional) dependencies that we shouldn't force on people who are not
going to use it.

On debian side, it is currently:
apt-get install pcb
apt-get install pcb-gpmi
apt-get install libgpmi-mod-....

last line when the user installs those language modules he needs. I
think this process is not a big hassle and could be reproduced in other
packaging systems that can handle dependencies as well.

For those who prefer to install from source, we could write a shell script
that can fetch all the sources, that would have a similar effect as having
the project in upstream trunk, right?
