Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but the embedded guys are far from being the
"common case". Moreover, if you want to reduce the number of packages you
install on your embedded system to a minimum (which is probably what you
want), then having a metapackage is not what you are looking for. You want
to pick packages one by one.

Now, as a middle ground, where would a rock.core.nogui metapackage not fit
the "embedded guy" case ?
