that's oversimplifying, but something along a couple of virtual packages 
like "gnustep core" "gnustep development" "gnustep games" "gnustep net 
apps" (if we had more than gnumail...)could do.
A "gnustep full" is a bit overkill, but for whom wants it would be also 
easy to do. I don't know how xfce or gnome do things nowadays, because I 
always go the "cherry-pick" route there too.

These would just pull in the proper selection of packages which should 
be separately available. Not even that hard, even on debian. Debian has 
most stuff already, except some long-standing missing things.

With our private repo, even easier then. A thing to remember would be to 
make them incompatible with the offical debian packages or something 
similar, do be sure that they don't get mixed up.
