Hi, all looking into GNOME i got some (maybe stupid) idea:
what about creating empty packages only to satisfy dependancies and be able to install loosy related set of packages. Metapackage seems to be the right name for such creature ;) for example wmaker_gnome.deb will depends on full GNOME+wmaker, E_gnome.deb will install E+GNOME, http_ftp_dns_server.deb will set up apache/wuftp/dns etc. i.e. you should be able to pick one-two metapackage and let apt do the dirty job for setting things up sorry if it was discussed before... regards OK
