Ok, but if group-metapkg has Requires on all the packages in the

For the benefit of the list, the answer is "yes". This is why I don't
like using metapackages this way; you can't selectively install them.
Actually, the answer is no.
Oh, sorry. It will remove the metapackage. I missed the part about
"everything else".
Let me try again:
Will it remove the metapackage?
Yes.
Will removing the metapackage remove everything else?
No*.

Jesse's reply pretty much hits right on what my complaint is.
