I'm pretty sure my idea can be done just with a re-parsing of a comps
file after a livecd is installed to harddisk, since the "defaultness"
of any subpackage as referenced in the first post of this thread is
defined with respect to comps.  Invoking a suggests tag is completely
unnecessary.  All I am asking for is that people using livecds which
deviate from default comps selections for the sake of saving space,
get a chance to install those missing default pieces.
