I put in a request a long time ago (probably verbally and I should submit
formally) for the ability to "group" packages and scripts and then be able
to select the group for configurations or select it in Casper Remote. That
way, I could choose to install "Adobe CS4" and it would really mean 1.)
install CS4, 2.) apply every patch, 3.) run some custom setup scripts, etc.
This would be ideal for Microsoft apps too.

Right now, I'm putting everything into an "Install Adobe CS4" policy and
then calling that policy in a script after imaging.
