I'm sorry, but this would just break a lot of things in wpkg, and I think there have been discussions about that on the list some time ago. Just keep it simple: - Standard Profile * all common things here - Basic Profile, depends on Standard Profile * has Acrobat Reader - Advanced Profile, depends on Standard Profile * has Acrobat Perhaps there could be more fine grained solutions, but this is one possible way how to do what you want.
