not a real problem, but a real nuisance: In Debian, wherever possible,
we take the unchanged upstream tarball and store our modifications
(usually only the debian/ dir) in a diff.gz file.

For XMonadContrib it would make no sense to package it seperately, as it
does not hurt to have it around, and is not useful on it’s own. But if
it is not already included in the original tarball, I’d have to re-pack
the tarballs and can’t use the pristine tarball.

If you don’t like having XMonadContrib inside the xmonad tarball, that’s
ok, though, of course.

Greetings,
Joachim
