I assume that adding Breaks or Conflicts to your meta-packages for the packages you do not like should do the trick. You can even go one step further and add Provides for the cases where the packages you do not like are Depended on by some package in Debian. For example some desktops may Depend on CD/DVD related tools but your computer might not have a CD/DVD drive. With versioned Provides now being supported you can even prevent versioned Depends being installed. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
