No, eg Debian contains a package named "xanim-modules" which is only
a downloader script with (eg) wget. Once maintainer of that package notices
that new xanim modules are released he just release a new package into
Debian with greater version number, so people doing upgrade will notice
and installer will ask to download the new modules or not.

[well in real it's a python script, not wget though :) I've just checked]

So with Debian it's not problem, even debian package may contains xanim-modules
at 'suggest' field.
