I'm starting to look into shifting building eclipse-ptp/photran

maven/tycho rather that pdebuild. This is being driven by circular
build deps among the various features that make up ptp/photran and the
fact that this is how upstream builds it.
As currently packaged I have quite a lot of sub-packages that break out
the various features. This was fairly easy to do with pdebuild since
everything was built on feature boundaries.
however with maven/tycho I end up with a single zip file with all the
features and plugins in it making it hard to put the plugins into the
proper sub-package.
Thoughts/suggestions? Just give up and package it all as one package?
FWIW: eclipse-mylyn does exactly this. There is now one SRPM
eclipse-mylyn again which produces many binary RPM packages which used
to be in separate SRPMs. For example
eclipse-mylyn-{commons,builds,tasks,docs,ide}. Mylyn upstream also moved
to tycho.
