Well, as a user of Debian, i have a "quick hack" suggestion. One that
would seem to require minimal effort. Create a new section. call it
"configurations" or something like that. make it the section at the top
of dselect's list. inside this section will be a bunch of "dummy" .deb
files: webserver.deb, netclient.deb, ftpserver.deb, x.deb, etc... these
packages need contain nothing more than control files, which require (or
suggest) all the various components neccessary for that configuration.
