I kinda need the meta package as I have to have all of Qt installed. Besides, as Qt packages all block each other, it's handy to use the meta package in conjunction with --dl-blocks discard. That way I can be sure my system isn't left with E.g. QtGui 4.5.3 and QtOpenGL 4.5.2. I.e. Whenever Qt's updated I can do a "paludis --install x11-libs/qt --dl-blocks discard". Personally I prefer doing that for just Qt rather than doing it on world. Personally, I'd like a new feature in paludis which automatically batches several package installs together into a temporary "super-package" and installs that as if it were a single package. No idea if that makes sense or is even possible. Perhaps that's what package sets are/should be?
