That also works with the normal paradigm where all the variants provide
'kernel' for RPM dependency purposes; if you try to have a kernel-minimal that
provides 'kernel' while also having a 'kernel' package that requires
'kernel-minimal', things get a bit more strange.
I'm open to this idea, but I think it's nicer if one can go from the reduced
selection to the full just by adding in the right package, not changing or
removing things. Unlike PAE or etc., I don't think we'd actually build
anything differently (would we?).
