Comment(by stippi):

 Yes, Installer CopyEngine just unzips everything in _packages_. Programmer
 laziness detected. I've made sure that all packages extract to the same
 destination, i.e. /boot and hard-coded this in Installer. If we want to
 enable the user selection process of which packages get installed, we need
 to work on Installer. I would say that packages which depend on other
 packages are left out of the optional ones at all (i.e. get installer
 regardless and are not displayed as optional). The distinction could be
 the presence of certain attributes. I could probably look into all this
 starting next week.
