Yes, Tomáš and I discussed this on a phone call earlier. I think he
makes a good point: we should just have one metapackage, probably
'openlmi-server' that contains the complete set of packages we think
belong in the OpenLMI collection on the managed system. A
technically-savvy individual could choose to install the separate
packages manually if they really wanted a smaller set, but in general
it just makes sense to install everything at once. This makes it
easier to define a "supported" configuration as well. We reduce the
test matrix that way.

I'm not sure we need a client metapackage yet, since at the moment
that would only be pulling in the openlmi-tools package. Though, I
suppose it would make it easier to add one or more scriptons to the
list later on. So I'm fine with this as well.

Other thoughts?
