I have or had a problem with Acrobat. I have 3 profiles all of which inherit 
from eachother their packages. Eg: SOE -> Laptop -> Machine.
I have 4 types of acrobat writers, Elements 6, Standard 6, Standard 8 and Pro 8.
Elements was defines at the SOE level, early on.
Rather than elevate Elements to machine level so I could implement Conflicts 
between the 4 type I decided to create a virtual based package, AcrobatWriter
The check is defined as Elements or Std 6 or Std 8 or Pro 8
The command is simply to install Elements 8
No uninstall exists.
At the machine level I add the packages for Pro 8, std 8 and std 6 as required
The install command is 1st, uninstall elements6 then install std 8.
Now this is a bit messy, however I had the thought that if packages could 
inherit other packages automatically as well as depend or Supercedes packages 
as priority you could do a better job than implementing virtual packages.
Eg:
Acrobat Pro 8 package Supercedes Writer package. Writer inherits Elements and 
reader 6 so Elements and reader 6 package is uninstalled.
