Oh, to be clear, I was recommending that the "groups" be virtual packages, for
user convenience.

E.g. when I made a list like this:

The real packages are libvos, libvutil and libvip, (or actually those would
themselves be virtual packages depending on vibvosX, libvutilX, libvipX where X
is the major libtool version...), and the "convenience" virtual package is
vos-corelibs.

Also this is just my recommendation, if you need to do things a bit differently
that's OK too.
