I really think we want to have package maintainers whose motivation is a bit stronger than 'I use this myself, so, meh, why not package it'. At least for packages that are part of the default install, I would expect at least some awareness on the part of the packager that the work he is doing needs to fit into the larger whole which is the released product.
