 The only (somewhat minor) problem I have is that you can only specify a
single type. The two obvious ways to fix this are:

1. Allow multiple options and split on comma/space like most of the
options that take lists.

2. Just assume that default implies mandatory and optional implies the
other two.

...the later might be somewhat "safer" but has less power.

 You might also want to include an option to enable/disable group
conditional packages.
