In my mind, it is what bundles are meant for. There was two deployment 
ideas:

1) either we store common scripts such as the gps one you are
    referring to in $ROCK_ROOT/bundles/rock/scripts, with a meaningful
    folder structure OR

2) we make $PREFIX/share/rock a bundle that is available to the
    complete system, and make the packages install their scripts there
    (also in a meaningful folder structure ;-))

Then,

   rock-run --scripts

Would discover which scripts are available (needs to be created) and

   rock-run gps/display

Would run the gps/display.rb script stored in scripts/gps/ in an 
available bundle (already does that).
