While I think it would be a good idea to keep debian-science "clean" (and not to add the 14 debian-astro metapackages to debian-science): how is this done technically? A good use for me would be to establish a link between astronomy-education and education-astronomy; there is no reason why they should be different. A compromise could be to add one metapackage "astronomy" that depends on the debian-astro metapackages; this way we would have a hierarchical structure -- but I am afraid this is not supported by tasksel, right? > A (very long - close to 10 years) planned feature of the Blends web > sentinel is to "resolve" such dependencies on the web pages.

I could imagine that it would be nice to have a link to debian-astro (as well as to debichem and debian-med) on the debian-science blends page (and links to their metapackages on the metapackage list of debian-science). Do you mean this? Couldn't we do it just (semi-)manually? Debian-science seems to be a special case as it can be seen also as a "parent" to other blends. Best regards Ole
