1) Does this use cygwin?
2) I think it would be best to have a set of packages that provide db,
apcahe, qmail etc (which you could provide) and a final package
'mufassa' that requires all the others, and provides the specific code
needed.
That provides several benefits.
a) Less disk space overhead (don't need two copies of db for instance).
b) Lower download overhead when one component needs to be updated.
c) Muuch easier source package management (IMO).
Other than that, this looks like a neat capability to have as an
all-in-one.
