We can't package every single Amarok script, that is also the main purpose of Amarok's script download feature.

I respect Ubuntu's decision on not packaging but I would like to bring to the attention that in some environments these kind of scripts are not allowed to be installed by the end user but are managed (versions managed) on a system (or even corporate) level. See a similar discussion on Firefox addons. Many organisations do not allow end users to install the kind of addons/scripts/plugins however because of this a need for offering them as packages arises. Alternatively offering a package which a bundle of these scripts/addons/plugins might be interesting.
