We don't have a rule about this. To have `calendar' and `icalendar' as one
package would be ok. To have each of them as one package, as now, is ok.
New `icalendar-*.el' files could go with the existing `icalendar-*.el' files
or become a separate package. It's a matter of tradeoffs of various
practical conveniences.
