Maybe focus on the way this type of install would be used. You install the
<foo> class and then manually add only the packages you need.
This brings to mind the following words:
o Fundamental
o Elemental
o Foundational
o Infrastructural (though "infrastructure" is a relatively overloaded
term these days)
o Additive (thinking of what you need to do to get a useful configuration)
o Add-On (ditto)
Do any of these terms strike a chord with anyone?
