And one more reason: I'm (relative) beginner in LaTeX (I've used about
5 years plainTeX), and sometimes not found the package what I need
(last time was the exam class). But when it's splitted many
subpackage, I can see it in poldek with 'ls texlive-latex-*', and
'desc texlive-latex-foo', so maybe I (and others) can found the needed
package (=package with a specified feature) easier.
