It's not a perfect solution (for instance, there are issues with
signatures) but some cases where it may be useful are:
- you do not own/maintain one of the components and the package is
(reliably) hosted somewhere.
- a component is late or QA is not complete yey and the distribution
needs to be made available in a disk image for another entity.
