That... isn't exactly true :-P
That every new release of these drivers also need kernel driver updates
isn't exactly helpful, from a distributor's point of view. Just nobody
complained, because it's perfectly clear that bitching won't help here ;)

That said, I find your approach actually reasonable - most times you
have to package all 3 of them anyway, because they aren't completely
backwards/forward compatible.
