Bug Description

I've created a new config package for my menlow-based device. I want to install GNOME-Mobile on the device, and I want to use my config package instead of crownbeach-config. The GNOME-Mobile fset depends on the crownbeach-config fset for menlow and samsung-q1-ultra-config|zi9-onfig for mccaslin. The result is that crownbeach-config always gets installed, even though it's not necessary.

One fix is to create a virtual package like mic-config, and add "Provides: mic-config" to all of the ume-config-* packages. The GNOME-Mobile fset can then depend on the mic-config virtual package.

Another fix is simply to remove the dependency on crownbeach-config from GNOME-Mobile. This should be safe since most users will install one of the 'complete' fsets like CrownBeach-Full-Mobile-Stack, which also pulls in the crownbeach-config package. People like me with a separate config package will have to recreate CrownBeach-Full-Mobile-Stack for our platform (to avoid the crownbeach-config dependency), but that's much less work than recreating GNOME-Mobile and everything that depends on it.
