A permanent fork will require a new name, most of the licences/copyright require that. Then there is no problem at all. Bundling does not have any problem neither. As stated by Greg and as nearly all major linux distributions do using their own packages repository.
bundling means that your users will never know if they get the original package or not, something i find to be very unfortunate (after a while even the person that bundled may even forget if its unmodified code or not). bundling also creates more work for the packager. regards, Lukas
