Of course you can create custom metapackages as well. For instance "games-scummvm" would install scummvm and all available free and non-free games like Indy4, Sam & Max, etc. Since those metapackages are in contrib you are allowed to depend on g-d-p, so you could create customized postinst scripts to suite your needs and adjust the packaging to your liking. Also possible would be to create a standalone metapackage like "indiana-jones-4" which would depend on scummvm and g-d-p. Everything could be done automatically, if the postinst scripts were customized. There are various other use cases which I could imagine. Markus
