No, it shouldn't. A "regular" package means no single lisp file can
be removed safely. A "single-file" packages means each lisp file is
independent and any one (or more) of them may be removed at will.
That is not and will not be the case with os-utils and edit-utils.
But add-little-package.sh loses on edit-utils and fsf-compat because it
assumes they really are single files rather than compressed tar files.
Maybe add-big-package.sh should be used always? Or maybe there should be
another package category - discrete maybe?
