Just to clarify -- I think Component is a better name for Logical/Task
groups, not for the "Typal" groups (which maybe, following Freshmeat, could
be called "Troves").

A "Web Server" component/logical/task group could be something like the
existing one, containing httpd, httpd-suexec, mod_*, php-*, webalizer, etc.

Then, a package like httpd would also be in various typal/trove groups:
Daemon, HTTP server, Internet Server. The package webalizer would be in
Console, Log Analizer, Web Tool. (Or something like that.)
