Thanks for implementing, I tested it and want to provide feedback:
My package layout:
FRE.lpk (Metapackage)
   -FRE_CORE.lpk (Subpackage)
   -FRE_AGGPAS.lpk (Subpackage)
   -FRE_AUDIO.lpk (Subpackage)
   -FRE_APS.lpk (Subpackage)
   -FRE_FCOM-lps (Subpackage)

The project has only the metapackage as dependency.  I stored the 
metapackage with "preferred" option,
that works, but it only switches the metapackage not the subpackages.
The workaround is to include all packages as requirement in the project -
This works. The feature itself is really nice, as it now allows branch 
switching in zero time!
