I agree that having separate be available is nice in cases for some 
users (not to mention invaluable for update tracking), but probably 
most users would rather just install a user and developer metapackage 
and be done with it.  If this CAN be done with GNUstep, it is news to 
me and seemingly to others as well, and there ought to be some better 
publicity of it.  One possibility would be to have each individual 
package mention that it is part of a metapackage in its description 
field.  Another would be to add a sentence or two to the "Debian" 
section of http://gnustep.org/resources/sources.html .
