If you make your application a front-end for zippo, this will make
the problem easier to solve - package dependency handling will be
zippo's work. And zip-picker style can be combined with list of
all packages easy - create empty packages which have nice name
like 'C development' and depend on gcc, djdev, binutils, etc. Those
empty packages (or metapackages, as they are called on Debian GNU/Linux)
can be presented on the list of all packages.

Richard, can be this option added to DSM? (like 'package-type: [source|binary])
