Certainly in principle it would make me sad to leave out source.  But 
what I'm building currently actually isn't the full source, it's just 
the source required to run, so things like the build instructions are 
left out, and potentially tests (depending on how the activity is 
factored).  So it's not a complete package anyway, and maybe supporting 
two packages (akin to a rpm and rpms) would be a better over-all 
solution?  OTOH, without the source the tracebacks won't be able to give 
good context, and even if you aren't editing the code it's useful to 
have that context.  So yeah, this probably isn't a good optimization.
