That would essentially mean introducing another dimension in the
dependency graph (even if it's hidden to dpkg+friends, it'll still
be somewhere in the release process). I'd strongly advise against that.
Another point: from users/sysop's view, I'd really like to have packages
as small as possible, and only those installed which are really required.
IIRC these bundles will essentially make few big distro packages out
of dozens small upstream packages - exactly the opposite of what I want.
