=46inally I followed an intermediate solution: instead of put each module i=
n its=20
package, I splitted the modules in two categories: basic and extra.

The basic modules are those that will be in every fisterra application for=
=20
sure (auth, calendar, document, payment and tax) and extra are the "optiona=
l"=20
packages (replication, uddi and migration). Each group has its=20
lib, -dbg, -doc and -dev package.
I think this is a good solution, because the modules in the basic group dep=
end=20
on each other and they are used almost always together, and at the same tim=
e=20
we give more install options than all or nothing.
Anyway, if a particular module grows and it would be better in its own=20
package, it's better to split that package when that happens and not now.
