Someone correct me - any package can have a dependent package added. We just don't do that (I've never seen it my past couple of years with Pharo). A Slice is simply an empty package that has dependencies. Now it seems somewhat tied to development of the Pharo image since it requires an issue number - but I guess you could use it for other purposes with any random issue number or 00000.

Exactly. In the MC browser, there is a button to create a slice from an
issue number. During that workflow, you will be asked to select all relevant
packages. When the slice is committed or loaded, it will bring all of those
packages with it.
