Debian do not want to provide the sugar-activities metapackage. In the
hardy packages, this is produced by the sugar sourcepackage.

My intention is to add the metapackage back to debian's sugar package
once we have it synced - unfortunately it is a deviation but a very
minor one.

In the long term, we will have more activities (apps) packaged in Debian
(and some are only in Ubuntu but we will submit them to Debian) and then
having a metapackage that installs *everything* will no longer be
appropriate, but upstream is producing a set of activities which are
developed in tight coordination with the Sugar platform, called
Fructose, whereas other activities are community-developed on their own
schedule (and code-named Honey). This is reflected on our
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SugarTeam/Packages page. So in intrepid+1 we may
replace sugar-activities with sugar-fructose as a metapackage which
pulls in the "upstream blessed" activities.

For now I would prefer to continue using sugar-activities as a patch
carried over from the hardy packages - but we will continue working with
Debian to feed our patches and suggestions back to them and minimise the
delta.
