Iain, thanks for this bug report, and sorry for the slow response.
You say that for Smuxi, "Other functionality is provided by separate
packages". What packages in particular are you referring to? As far as I
can see, you're probably referring to smuxi-engine-irc and smuxi-engine-
twitter. It would make sense for at least the latter to show up as an
add-on for "Smuxi IRC Client" (smuxi-frontend-gnome), but it doesn't.
That's easily fixed in the Smuxi packaging, so I've reported that as bug
844742.
Do you have any other examples of how metapackages would be useful?
