I want up to date packages for all my servers. My servers all have  
different requirements -- I want Apache with LDAP here, and definitely  
Apache without LDAP there. Designing a package-building and deployment  
system for a non-homogenous server farm is an exercise in futility. Having  
proper sub-packages fixes this issue in a cleanly supportable fashion.
