It's not about size of source file. I didn't even start checking what
do you really put into binary files.

They're not - some of components have dependencies on another
components (*/DEPS)

No, it doesn't since they all have 2009.1.1 version.

How big is each component - tiny. I am not convinced it's worth
splitting them into separate packages. This will clutter packages list
etc.,etc.

And in the end the most common scenario would be to install
php-ez...-all, because user will be tired for searching his bit of
code among all those packages.
