Apparently no "full" installation meta-package exists, and users are forced to install manually a large amount of packages by trial and error while building their documents. I believe the split in so many sub-packages is a pure exercise of style and it unnecessary and not functional, and it should be reconsidered, or at least a full installation meta-package should be provided. Additionally, installing Kile used to lead to a working LaTeX environment. At the moment, most of the commonly used classes to write scientific articles are not installed, and many common styles (roman.sty for example) are not pulled by default. Reverting to the situation in openSUSE 12.2 would be really helpful.
