Besides meta-packages, another potential use-case for meta (whether

ensure nobody runs weird combinations even though sonames might permit it. Often
they are in the same direction as the soname dependency so it doesn't create any
additional ordering issues but sometimes they're in the opposite direction,
creating a wholly unnecessary dependency loop. Rpm itself is an example of this
(but we can't really use "meta" anytime soon as rpm needs to be
bootstrappable
from older versions)
Something like this?
