What if someone still wants to install main msi-package (using the package UI)
and deploy it's dependencies in a silent mode? The dependencies are a subject to
remain on user machine (almost always) permanently (Windows Installer redist,
Visual Studio redist etc.) I'd like to use UI from the main package, which I
have to create anyway.

Another scenario, when I need to install a single msi-package conditionally from
a single multi-package installer. In that case I'd prefer to use UI of embedded
msi-package, rather than create new UI for bootstrapper. Unfortunately the old
bootstrapper from WiX 3.5 doesn't support chain conditions, but Burn doesn't
show UI of embedded packages. Am I forced to write my own bootstrapper or
extension to Burn in that case?
