Comment (by robe):

 komzpa yah thinking about it more, I don't think it would be too difficult
 for packagers to separate the two.

 They would compile regular old way, but when packaging

 put all the rtpostgis, and full postgis scripts in the postgis package.

 Have a postgis_core package that leaves out the rtpostgis and full postgis
 scripts -- just has the ---2.5.0lite/less/core/whatever we call it
 scripts.

 Have the full postgis install that depends on postgis_core.

 As I recall the postgis package is really the package to install the
 commandline tools, but it depends on postgis-2.4.0 or some such thing
 which gasp depends on PostgreSQL server.  Which is annoying since there is
 no way to just install the raster2pgsql, shp2pgsql without installing the
 whole shebang, unless I missed something.

 Best I could propose was this -
