You can package them separately, and add a dependancy on tintwizard in the tint
package? That way, tint2 will install tintwizard as a separate package on
installation. 

It's not advised to package two different programs into one package, even if
they're only used for each other. 

An illustration:
What if tintwizard has a new release, but tint doesn't? You'll have to push an
update for the tint package as a whole ( a larger update for nuts ).

Yes, you can have multiple Licenses. Since I'm still for two separate packages,
this isn't relevant here.

A man page is suggested, you can always add it later and push an update. Please
do request upstream to get started on it though.
