Using metapackages or even the good old RPM Group tag could work, if
1. we actually ship this information in our packages, and
2. tools like Dnfdragora actually know how to use them. (Dnfdragora has
support for RPM Group tags, but I don't think it supports the SUSE
approach at this time, does it?)
Otherwise, let's please stick to what works (i.e., comps).
