It's been a while, but IIRC we considered that many years ago and found that it seemed too annoying to do that in practice; it meant that if you were intentionally diverging from one part of the prescribed default system in such a way that required removing a lower metapackage, you ended up removing all the upper metapackages as well, and that ended up being rather a hassle. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
