RPM doesn't currently do what you're asking about.  I like the feature
you're talking about too.  With RPM, you can make "related" packages,
such as

	krb5-server
	krb5-workstation
	krb5-devel
	krb5-docs

but there's no way in RPM itself to make a `krb5-bundle' that includes all
of those sub-packages, and allows you to install all of them just by selecting
the `krb5-bundle' for installation.

Some of the graphical front-ends for RPM do support this, though, if
that's any consolation.
