This assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between used RPM group names
and comps groups.  AFAIK this is currently not the case.  It could be
done that way, as the RPM group tag is not used for anything else at this
moment (in the past anaconda used it for showing a tree structure, IIRC).

As the RPM group tag is just a string, you could probably even include it
there, like with "Group: base(optional)" or "Group: kde-desktop(mandatory)".
