Is not split up.  As for "easy" .. no it is not. It is a pain that can
take hours to do and it needs to be done manually because the package
contents do not line up from version to version. At least not very
well.

samba is samba

You install it and you get the whole package based on the build from
the sources. When you do the build and the install it you get samba ..
all of it .. not bits and pieces.

So what ?

So now you install samba and you get all that in one shot.

disk is cheap.
You install the package .. and it works.
