Sure but law does not differentiate between "iso image", "tarball" and
"package".
If we can ship them in the former we can ship them in the later. If
the problem is simply listing the licenses we can have a text file
with the licenses in the package, no need to have it in the license
tag (we can just add something "Multple see foo.txt").

I know you are just the messenger here ... but we are blocking this
for trivial / non existent reasons for a long time already, while
everyone else (other distributions) happily ship the obvious solution
and provide a way better user experience then we do.
