This isn't quite about the interface, but about the package system
(may it just depends on the way it is implemented).
What I'd like to see is a way for the user to individuallt decide
whether he/she wants to install certain "sections" from a package.
"sections" are things like "doc" (/usr/doc?), "man" (/usr/man), "lib"
(/usr/lib?), "dev-lib" (compile-time libraries), "binary", "info"
etc...
This again merges into a previous point I raised of combining a few
related packages into one (e.g. mgetty-{docs,fax,voice,}) and let the
user pick from inside it.
Reference - the SGI inst system.
