In my opinion this is what we have a dependency system for. There is no such
thing as stuff that everyone needs. You select the things you want, e.g.
imu_driver, motion_controller, and it will select the required dependencies
for you. You can then even add or not add the gui package, and since the
optional feature will use this information to compile in or not compile the
vizkit stuff.

I don't see package-sets as things that get compiled as a whole other than
for testing.
