There are a bunch of packages that look like they would want to be
combined to form a single package with multiple facets. This includes
packages that were split into -devel, -man, -doc, -lib, -{locale}
packages. perhaps also -python24 and -python26. This could also be
applied to other things if the selection of a package (or facet of a
package) can cause the selection of different facets of other packages.
Is it possible to set facets of individual packages or only of the
entire image? If the latter, I don't think it's a good idea to
make -devel bits facets. You shouldn't have to install all
development bits if you only need a few components.
Right now, you can only set facets for the entire image; same with
variants.
This is on purpose. It's very difficult to use facets as tags
on dependencies, etc, if the tags are adjustable per package.
