Seems that would help a lot with the limited QA upload bandwidth that 
apparently delayed the initial unified tree.

Publishing a recipe for doing it would save a lot of people a lot of 
time and bandwidth for QA downloads, as well as releases for the 
community.  The current procedure on the Wiki

fails with a package tree for lack of a .discinfo file.  If there is a 
simple process for creating one it could be incorporated into the script.
