If I install A and it requires B and C, then I uninstall
A, I assume B and C do not automatically get uninstalled?
That means that "depends on" is not the same as
"contains".  If my product naturally has multiple parts, and I
want to provide them in different combinations, I might want to
do this (arrow means dependency):
  1. SunStudio (empty)      -->  studio_c_c++  +  studio_fortran
  2. SunStudioBasic (empty) -->  studio_c_c++
I can't use empty packages this way because uninstall won't
do anything.  I can't include all the desired bits inside
each package, because I'm not allowed to have the same files
in multiple installed packages right?

How is this supposed to work?

I remember something about a new kind of "module" of 
some sort.  Is there a public description what you guys
plan to implement for this?
