What happen's when the application in question only *installs* binary
only packages that are licensed under licenses which are GPL incompatible ?

eg. I create an application/interface that installs two RPMs for two
packages A and B. A is GPL compatible if not GPL itself and B is GPL
incompatible. How do I license my interface/application or does the
license for my application (which in a non strict sense is only an
installer) as GPL compatible meet all requirements ?

ps: Kushal had called me up last night on this issue and frankly the mix
of licenses puzzled me a bit and I suggested that he write in here. If
anyone has another person/list he can go to it would surely be appreciated
