  OTHO, since any package is listed in just one category does not help so much 
users and I am not talking about new users only.

  Something like trove would be interesting, after all world is not just black 
and white. :-)

  The possible solution should be clearly a superset of comp files to avoid 
synchronisation problems...

  One way to do it would be to use something like:

<group>
...
<packagereq type="mandatory" index="primary">xxxx</packagereq>
...
</group>
...
<group>
...
<packagereq type="optional" index="secondary">xxxx</packagereq>
...
</group>
