Packages which are unpacked at installation time and expand to several folders 
at once are easily possible and are already in use. However, dependencies 
between GHNS entries are not supported, each entry needs to be usable on its 
own or describe dependencies in its documentation.

It would be nice to know some details about the Gimp use case to see whether 
something can be done about it and how representative it is of general 
potential GHNS usage in Gimp. I would like to see GHNS support in there, even 
if it won't cover all use cases at the beginning.
