One shortcoming of this approach is that it makes allowing overlapping
groups much more difficult. We would have to a different status file
for every possible combination of groups.
Another shortcoming is that after initial installation, users would
still have to manually keep their systems up to date. If the group
info is in the control file for each package, dselect/deity could
automatically select new packages that are added to a group.
