By the way (no need for this to be a blocker) I notice that many
python-foo packages fall somewhere between the above two.  Unlike
role::aux:dummy, they are designed to stay installed; and unlike
role::aux:metapackage they pull in only one package, the latest
version (python2.x-foo).  I'm calling them :dummy packages for now,
but there might be an argument for changing that.

That all looks good to me, but Thaddeus was still defending the
applications/utilities distinction the last I heard.  Would all the
rehoused driver and input-method software packages fit under
"utilities" if we kept them separate?
