  This approach does not work: the bulk build builds conflicting
packages, so you cannot have a meta-package that depends on all of
them.  Besides, that is a big waste of disk space, since you require
all of them to be installed.  Also, one of the benefits of the bulk
build framework is that exactly the dependencies of a package are
installed during it's build.

  We will have to do the task scheduling ourselves.
