Consider also the use case where we only update contrib module minor version when they do receive an update in the tree. If we get to do that, maybe it's good enough with plain .control files. Of course having some Makefile or other support doesn't prevent anything here, it just allows some more flexibility. That was considered some more complexity not solving any real world use-case on-list, though. FWIW, it seems very likely that should we ship without the Make support I'll have to add it to every extension I maintain, separately.
