I forgot to mention another thing here.  nbdkit, libvirt and qemu also
have metapackages which pull in a "good selection" of the subpackages,
which is ideal for users who don't want to sort through all of them,
or want to deploy those in particular scenarios.  eg. "qemu" pulls in
all subpackages of qemu.  "nbdkit" pulls in the server and the basic
plugins, but not the esoteric plugins with complex dependencies.
"libvirt-client" pulls in the libvirt client libraries and tools but
not the server stuff.
