 What's the point about meta-packages in general then?
 
 I'm not aiming at users who know or care which exact drivers and
 libraries they need but just want everything necessary to get X in the
 most simple manner possible - even at the expense of CPU cycles and
 disk space. Advanced users are of course free not to use the
 meta-package.
