That's why I was proposing namespace packages so you can bundle them
separately.
Of course you can also bundle them however you like or maybe not at all,
maybe just with a general namespace of lindenlab.

That's the idea of namespaces. They are individual eggs but you can still
use common prefixes. Like in plone we have different eggs for

plone.app.portlets
plone.app.layout
plone.app.commenting

etc. but you can still import them with the above paths. There should be a
paster template for creating a namespace package in egg form.
