Hrm, no that can be fixed just with virtual package names.  Though the
original idea might be better if we took the "silly" targets and had
those provide a "ggi-target-toy" virtual package, leaving "ggi-target"
for "real" targets.  An application like a screensaver could depend on
"ggi-target || ggi-target-toy", while an application that needs a real
display would depend simply on "ggi-target".  That would mean only the
"toy" applications would have to modify anything, and all they lose
until they do is libaa and such, while the packages badly effected by
this are fixed without being modified.
