Since Groups can have diverse packages even on the systems with same 
base, RHEL 6.x multiple versions are fine example, there never can be 
"RequiresGroup". What would be nice to see would be "Recomended:", or 
"Optional:" instead of "Requires:", so you can install additional 
packages, but they would not be removed if you remove main package.

Is "dirty solution" where rpm package would use post-install script to 
run yum command (or set "due to be installed") to install all optional 
packages (if user agrees)?
