I don't see a problem; you can always split the e-d-s install into
several packages. For RPM this is just about trivial (mind your
dependencies though), and I believe it's the same for deb.
I do such splits, e.g. when individual libraries or plugins in the
installation list have outstanding dependencies.

Packaging is a normal practice as long as you do it correctly.
