I like the first proposition. Having kubuntu-desktop depend on meta- packages like kubuntu-laptop-addons, etc, would serve the same effect as having it depend directly on those packages, wouldn't it?
It would also allow users to easily take off laptop-oriented software if using a desktop, etc. -- (WISH) Reduce the number of dependences in kubuntu-desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/49774 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
