Let's say we have the following packages:

Is there a way to express that gtk2-print-cups should
be installed if both gtk2 and cups are installed and
gtk2-print-papi should be installed if both gtk2 and
papi are installed?
I suggest that group packages are the right way to approach
this problem...
Not sure what you mean by "group packages". Can you elaborate?
Thanks

It seems as if you're trying to have the low level packages
[gtk2,cups,papi] drive installation of the higher level
ones (gtk2-print-cups,gtk2-print-papi)... this appears
to invert the usual selection logic, which would be to
choose high level packages which install their dependencies.
Group packages are nothing more than packages that do nothing
but depend on others.... clusters in svr4 vernacular.
