I could but this would mean I have yet another package to maintain - would
anyone else find this useful?

Hmm, depends. I have to support some users of my database on Windows,
using the ODBC driver.  So, What's a merge module? Or is it one of those
things that if I need to ask, I don't need it?

A merge module is a different kind of Microsoft Installer package. You
can use that to "merge" in with your own MSI files and the driver
developer can provide a consistent installation package among separate
software packages.
