Right, you don't.  My examples of epiphany-extensions and 
gnome-games-extra-data both split out the module and use a combined 
tarball for them.

Yeah, that was my suggestion.  It might be nice to do them separately, 
but I don't think that enough happens with the code to do that yet. 
Plus its important to make sure we keep them compiling if we ever change 
APIs, which is easier to do if they are in one tarball as opposed to many.
