Yes, this will not be statisfactory. However I believe that doing something
like this would be great:
define icecat-recommended
define browser-recommended icecat-recommended
define desktop-recommended (append desktop-recommended base-packages) with
deduplication.
I believe this approach has two merits:
We can provide an easy setup for those interested, and inspectable for
those who would like a working system, but want to configure certain aspects
And we can state the officially recommended software for a given task, so
that it is possible to focus efforts on these.
