So I'd have an (empty) package named "user-packages" and it depends on
exactly those packages I named, possibly with their version specified?
And I could maybe have a number of additional packages to create
something of a hierarchy of such things?  Like a "system-packages"
package that my "user-packages" package can depend on (or not if I don't
want to)?

Or maybe just skip the actual packaging step and really only deal with
the dependencies.
