That's IMHO a very sensible approach and one that I also follow for
bigger build descriptions. Otherwise, I found myself doing adjustments
in one place and missing out on related adjustments elsewhere in the
description way too often. Examples are
* Subversion [1] (although your approach is even more consequent as
it also relocates PACKAGES)
* Postfix [2] (when it comes to FEATURES)
Just some feedback.
