Enlightenment packaging

I was just wondering if it would be useful to split enlightenment DE related packages.

Right now, for Arch there's just one package 'enlightenment'  with roughly 23MB in size where wallpapers alone take nearly 20MB.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just slit that into two packages? Something like 'enlightenment' and 'enlightenment-backgrounds' perhaps? It wouldn't be that hard, but it would save some bandwidth for something so unnecessary.
The other package would be 'elementary'. In AUR it's split into 'elementary' and 'elementary-test'.

Anyway, just a question...

Re: Enlightenment packaging

The best way to receive a response from the packager is to create an Arch Linux bug repeort.

In the mean time, you can (pretty easily) use the ABS to make the "enlightenment" package just the way you want it.
