I agree there's lots of room for variation, but for the rpm-minded, perhaps it'd make sense to have have a small number of pre-config'd packages - something like: (1) conservative, (2) aggressive, and (3) kitchen sink. Alternatively, perhaps the install of the rpm could be pre-conditioned by a config. file [not something that appeals to me, but possible]. I think offering a few canned packages is doable and probably would meet the 80/20 criteria for most users.
