So I'd have an (empty) package named "user-packages" and it depends on exactly those packages I named, possibly with their version specified? And I could maybe have a number of additional packages to create something of a hierarchy of such things? Like a "system-packages" package that my "user-packages" package can depend on (or not if I don't want to)? > Maybe the current package installed by user state could be constantly > regenerated as a package. Or maybe just skip the actual packaging step and really only deal with the dependencies.
