Exactly my reason for suggestion doing both.  The extra work for the
project in terms of mirroring diskspace and building time are small,
especially with the subpackaging support, and it will be a huge gain for
that 3% of users, but won't affect the default user.

Or to extend bapt's earlier example, there will be:
curl-bin
curl-lib
curl-dev

*and*
curl

packages which includes all of the above and will be the default for
those who don't care, but we add the first three for those who want.  If
we have split package support, it is just too easy to not to.
