To be clear, what I'm suggesting is to generate those wrappers automatically, instead of maintaining them manually. A script can visit a release page daily, parse it and check for updates. If there is a new upstream release, it can generate a wrapper and let the build system do the rest, produce binaries, test them, etc. When things break, the code needs to be fixed, but it's definitely very far from every release. And you don't have to trust the maintainer of that script anymore or even have a separate maintainer, everything could be reviewed on pull requests with only a small group of people having commit rights to the repository.
