Maarten and I have discussed the prospect of packaging components.cif 
before [1], as there are more packages needing it. My proposition was to 
have a separate source+binary package, but again the main blockers were 
the size and the need for frequent (weekly) updates. Nevertheless I 
believe it would be worth having package with components.cif, updated at 
least before each freeze. Then if someone wants up-to-date version, they 
could use libcifpp package which has a cron script to update the 
components.cif file.
