Hi, I can only speak about Debian packages but what i did is the following: base is a virtual package that depends on libs, and scripts (bin). I also have a oscar-x11 package for the GUI. I plan to create an "oscar" package which will be a virtual package allowing users to install everything at once (so only composed by dependencies with other packages). So yes, at least for Debian, it makes sense to have a "base" packages. After that we did not agree on any convention (i tried to start a discussion on the subject but nobody seemed to be interested), and for Debian i try to be as close as possible from Debian policies/naming schemes. We can also decide that it does not matter to have something consistent between RPMs and Debian packages.
