My basic idea would be to bundle source packages into one package if the versioning of the bundled packages will be the same.
E.g.
nxcomp, nxcompext, nxcompshad -> nxlibs.git
In general, it makes more sense to track upstream's structuring, and AFAIUI (please correct me if I'm wrong), this is the structure is provided from NoMachine. However, since 3.4 is reported to be the last GPL'ed version of these libraries, from now on, the community needs to do this upstream work independently from the actual upstream:
Unless NoMachine completely rewrote the NX libs from scratch they cannot change the license nor can they fail to provide any updates made to that code base. Once the GPL license is on a code base ALL derivatives that are distributed in any manner are covered under the GPL no matter who makes them.
