I think the easiest solution is to tell users howto configure correct repositories, see:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories

IMHO, adding meta-packages adds more confusion.

In future, we can think of installing openvswitch by default (add a  dependency). We just 
need to make sure that no services are started until enabled by the user.
