I think that is the right way to do it.

I think you only need two packages - fio and gfio. Fio already supports
client/server through the cli, that part was done before gfio. gfio just
connects to the same server as the cli frontend. To run gfio, you need
gfio as the client and fio --server as the backend. So just the two
packages would make the most sense, and only the gfio package would have
gui dependencies (and depend on fio, too).
