Currently, we have to run dab install <package> to install a package once the bootstrap process has finished.

It would be nice, if the packages I want to be installed could be specified in dab.conf, like:
Packages: emacs zip unzip

Depends: only seems to check whether that package is available in the repository.

I've also noticed that dab install does not react gracefully if a package depends on a virtual package. It would be nice if it would show which packages provide that virtual package or even select one if there is only one choice.
