As I understand it, the packages would contain both the binaries
(already built, no need for the user to compile anything herself) and
the _corresponding_ source code. Not just making the source available
somehow, somewhere, or through the explicit configuration and download
of separate packages, but making it an integral part of the system.
We want the source and binary to be closely associated,
but whether they form one downloadable package or two
seems like an implementation detail. Since many people
would rather get only the binary, I think it is more convenient
if they are two downloadable packages rather than one.
