You are partially right. Nevertheless, in time we did review of 
rubygem-coffee-script-source, there was no need to unbundle the 
coffeescript.js from the package IMO, since there were no other place 
where to put it anyway. There was no other package which would provide 
it. There was no easy way how to execute it, etc. But now, it should be 
changed. There might be more packages like this.
