Isn't this exactly what Livna is for? (Except for the shipping in the
distribution part...)
Couldn't be livna; that's going to carry stuff we genuinely can't go near.
Perhaps Livna should have some kind of "Make everything

meta-package. Include the macromedia repo in its release package too.
See, now that's thinking along the right lines.
