However, I kind of like the proposed idea of an empty "meta package", that will only trigger the installation of dependencies. Is this something you would be interested in?

I actually use the meta-package approach to handle dependencies for wine-based and steam-based games, so I wouldn't mind (I hate marking dependencies as explicitly installed, so that's a second reason to do that). I'm curious if those are acceptable in the AUR. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
