Thanks @nosoynadie, @dolphin_oracle, @DukeComposed, @asqwerth.

Other posters above have already explained why metapackages are useful in general.
@asqwerth is the meta package for XFCe, mx-apps? This is just for my information.

Partly that and partly trying to reduce the surface area of the distribution. I like to keep the Linux environment lean and clean as far as possible.
