I don't think that it make much sense to pack the modules as RPMs. Under
normal circumstances they must be customized in several different locations
and would only produce a lot of *.rpmnew files after upgrades without
proper function test possibilities. The more common way is to organize the
modules in a VCS.

Kind regards, Thomas
