There are almost always two basic kinds of packages, one that just provides
libraries to build something with, and one that actually provides a working
solution for something.
The former without the latter is certainly possible, and I could easily
imagine somebody providing the latter without the former. There may be
libraries inside, but not in a state that could be used independently.

OpenSAML is of course just a library toolkit, and that's pretty accurate wrt
coverage. 2.0 support is nearing completion but won't be API frozen for a
while yet.
Shibboleth is a working web SSO implementation, with current coverage of
SAML 1.x and WS-Federation, and planned coverage of SAML 2.0 and possibly
other future work.
