Yes. Also, do packages currently include provision for a description of the maintainer's choices regarding compile time options, config file settings, and so on? I have tried doing it a few times, and there are certainly lots of details to getting a program compiled. If there is not a standard information repository acesable through a standard package, I think there should be.
