Seriously, I don't know whats best here. From the current experience 
with Xfce4, there was no real need to split the libraries into 3 
different packages. The result of this split is actually more work. But 
I see your point in splitting it, and so, I'd say, we'll leave it up to 
you to decide. ;-)
