The major distributions have decided to separate source packages. Do you believe they will change their approach, after your patch has been applied?
I hope they don't change their approaches, as that would likely be yet another maintenance hassle for us. However, not every distribution has a source-code package so we'll need a backstop approach anyway, and the backstop can be what I suggested. We can also tune Emacs for the major distributions that have such packages, if someone finds the time to do that and if we're willing to maintain the resulting extra complexity; but that won't avoid the need for the backstop.
