I think it possible to come up with solutions which would solve
people's problems but aren't exactly what they are asking for.

For example, a select all and deselect all buttons or commands would
be useful on all levels of the package selection.  Want all the
optional packages in a group?  Select All.  Only want one thing in a
group?  Deselect all and select the one you want.

This does raise the question of does select all only select all the
groups and their defaults.  Or does it select all groups and every
package underneath.  I guess it depends on if you think of selection
working on the current level or recursively.
