I'm not very much in favor:
- We currently don't support such packages well anyway.
There are various more-or-less minor annoyances that could be fixed
without too much effort, e.g. the various Magit-derived packages get
redundantly auto-sync'd, and they result in duplicate worktrees
(unless you manually replace them with symlinks, admittedly).
- It gets worse when you consider installation via Git (rather
than via ELPA), in which case you get all the sub-packages in your
`load-path` even if you only activate one of them; and it's not
clear how to fix that.
This second point (to me) means that we want to discourage these kinds of
multi-packages that are bundled in a single branch.
