In its current implementation, the "meta-package" selection "erases" any
previous selection that the user may have done. That's ok for the first
intallation, but I don't think it's ok for "daily" use.
If someone wants to provide the "meta-package" selection as a normal
package, a little bit of work will have to be done to improve that.
