That's the decision to be made. I'd personally prefer a library/package  
approach for
deimos as such. At best import deimos.ncurses or import deimos.zeromq  
would be everything
thats needed.
OTOH the D-Programming-Deimos is already suggesting to rather use a  
package per binding approach
and if people wanted to distribute additional files it'd be the only  
sensible choice.
Still I think this will loose some consistency.

By the way, how have you settled to request for adding a repository?
