Ok, I just wanted to know for general cases. For this case at least, it turns out this will probably not save much time.
What exactly should a metapackage do in this situation?Sooner or later, I will need a metapackage to depend on all the components. The components are developed individually, but they are most useful when they are all installed together, which is the usual use case.That's OK if it fits the kind of software.
