Just to see if I understand: the idea is that the wims server will
Recommend wins-extra-all | wims-extra, and then all of the modules will
Provide wims-extra so that if you have one module installed, you won't get
the full set of modules that comes from wims-extra-all?

If so, this is very similar to the way video drivers for the X server are
handled and I can see where a virtual package would be useful.

Thank you for the clarification!
