Installing metapackage with fai.me

[Jean-Mathieu Chantrein]

Yes, it's games-finest. Thank you.

apt-cache show games-finest
Package: games-finest
Source: debian-games
Version: 5
Installed-Size: 21
Maintainer: Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: games-tasks (= 5)

Suggests: funguloids, pysolfc
[...]

So, I think that underlying packages are not installed because they are in Recommends.
In fact, in the FAI conf files, the package appears like this:

PACKAGES install-norec
games-finest

Is there a way to change this default behaviour in fai.me?

Regards.
