Does this imply that two metapackages (rock.core + rock.core.nogui) need 
to be maintained simultaneously? So, once changes are pushed in one of 
the metapackages, they also need to be applied to the other metapackage.

What are the arguments against the rock.core.gui package that depends on 
rock.core?
