Make sure your packages are listed in comps.xml

I was just about to write something like that (see also below). So I 
took the chance remove the "sound emulators" group and added a "Sound 
and Video" group.

Also note that the group definition was incomplete ;-) Groups that are 
not defined in Fedora need a little bit more (see the bottom of Fedora's 
comps.xml files for details). And defining a group just for two packages 
IMHO is definitely not a good idea.

There were mainly two reasons:

- we have no translators, hence all group that we define on our own will 
show up as English in anaconda, yum, PackageKit, ...

- I feared that adding groups might create even more trouble to get the 
anaconda support working

We can test the latter now that we know it works in general. But the 
first point is still valid. I think it alone is a good enough reason to 
try very hard *not* to add groups on our own.

Added.

Is lha really still that common? But whatever: marked as default.
