Nothing currently, just the packages directly listed in a group. In fact
I just realized when replying to the "for example KDE" mail that I'm not
processing the groupreq's at all, causing
"apt-get groupinstall kde" to be an empty set, whereas it should pull in
kde-desktop and it's dependencies. Oh well, more to do for the next
version :)

Perfectly understandable.. "apt-get -D remove" which does recursive
removal of dependencies can easily blow up in your face :(
