Roland, ideally BBDB should be packaged ELPA-style into the upcoming http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ repository. Then users can just install it with package.el and releases can bypass the normal "download, unpack, suffer" cycle. Ask on emacs-devel if you need more info; Chong Yidong has been managing the repository contents so far.
