Being able to do this kind of thing has puzzled me for some time (despite me
being probably the only sbopkg user not using saved queues).
The problematic side here is being able to actually manage (e.g. create)
such queue. sbopkg code assumes that a queue is a flat list of packages, and
changing it to manage a nested structure is far from easy :-/.
