This is indeed a currently missing feature. But it would be nice to have a more abstract definition of "functionality" - for example, a pattern should be able to say "the user needs a PDF viewer" and not "the user needs xpdf". Currently, when selecting GNOME during installation and using the Add-On product, I get three PDF viewers: xpdf from the base X selection, evince from the GNOME selection and acroread from the Add-On product. Packages could provide a virtual symbol describing their functionality, every desktop-related pattern should require this virtual symbol and the package manager should be able to decide which one of the available alternatives matches the selected pattern in the best way.
