[RFC] DEP-6: Meta-Package debian/control field
Hello people,
per the DEP process described at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep0/, this is
the first call for comments on this proposal.
Title: Meta-Package debian/control field
DEP: 6
State: DRAFT
Date: 2009-12-20

Abstract:
Introduce the usage of a new field in debian/control, Meta-Package,
to mark "meta-packages" as such, and allow easy choice of
installed packages, without being bitten by the "autoremove"
feature of package management tools.
Have a nice day,
David
