No idea. Note, I try to test the stuff right now as well, but for some 
stupid reason the installation in a KVM guest fails with the last 
package (the kernel) anaconda tries to install

I'd be glad, yeah. But note, I'll try to run some test myself as well; I 
plan to open a bug in bugzilla.redhat.com when I had a chance to look 
deeper into this.

But note, we can't be really sure our comps files is correct. But I hope 
it is.

Yeah, it is. But I tend to say it might confuse people more then it 
helps. Other options?

Nowhere -- they should automatically get selected if you enable RPM 
Fusion (if you enable RPM Fusion during install then you in 99,999% of 
the cases want it in the installed system as well). The packages hence 
are part of the "Core" group and marked as 'packagereq type="mandatory"':
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/comps/comps-f10.xml.in?root=free&view=markup

Anaconda (as far as I understand things) should install everything from 
that (hidden) group automatically.
