which I personally consider not necessary, but I also consider it something left to the
discretion of the maintainer in question.
Great -- I've already done the packaging as per 1 (by looking at transmission).
I feel the meta package approach is better, because users can run "yum install Pname",
and get the Gtk bits. The only issue is for Qt users, as they will have to search and
understand to use "yum install Pname-qt", to pull in the correct front end.
If I'm not mistaken, .deb uses meta packages to do this as well.
