In the hierarchy of choices of a distribution, you can have choices
and groups of choices.

There's usually a 1 to 1 relationship between choices and packages.
But it's also possible to define that a choice will install multiple
packages (but still only one choice will be displayed for all those
packages).

"Merge" creates a choice that contains multiple packages. 2 choices
for instance become one.

"Group" creates a group of choices that contains the selected choices.
2 choices are grouped in a parent choice.

You just need to have a 1 level hierarchy and set the order of the
packages (choices) in the order you want. No need to group or merge.
