Sure. I just asked upstream via email.

Ah, this is the way we used to package jconv. It is a "packager's choice" in
some sense. Let me elaborate:

Imagine that you are packaging an office package. The office software makes use
of fonts that are under a special format that can only be opened from this
particular office software. Of course the software can operate without these
fonts but it is 50 times more functional if it these fonts were available. :)

It is almost the same situation with jconv(olver). We can put these in a
subpackage. But given the target audience is really limited to enthusiasts and
these reverbs aren't updated independently from jconv(olver) software, it is
not beneficial to make a subpackage (or a separate package).

This package came from PlanetCCRMA. We didn't receive any user complaints about
the size all this time either here or at PlanetCCRMA list. Therefore I decided
to keep things the way they were for consistency.
