How man machines run this software?

If it's just 1 or 2, just skip the packaging.

If it's more go for the package. At Real Time we package almost everything,
because we have at a min 2 machines for each service (primary and backup) and
because many of our clients run the same services packages make upgrades a whole
lot easier.
