No, I think the original poster thought of a kind of hierarchical
grouping where each program/function would be the root of a little tree
detailing all its packages... something like
X-+-xbase
|
+-xservers
|
+-xfonts
Anyway, this is a thread that could (should) be in the debian-devel
group...
There is the apt package in development, all such new features
probably should be implemented in apt.
