It should work, but a nicer approach would be to reuse setup's dependency
mechanism and create a dummy package in "Base" that depends on all of the
needed packages...
Oh, and setup's "unattended install" option ("-q") should work once you
have all the needed packages either in "Base" or as dependencies of
"Base". It'll still pop up a window, but shouldn't require any user
input.
