Yes, there is interest.  The only issue I see off the top of my head is
that this doesn't work for deb / rpm / tar, when it could.  The way I've
solved this before is to have the binary version just be a tarball of
the do_install() from the source version,  Then -dbg/-dev/whatever gets
split up normally and other output formats work fine too.
