The package mpgrafic generates initial conditions for N-body cosmological simulations:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mpgrafic

but it was too late for the Stretch freeze. Should this be a "recommended" package
in the meta-package astro-simulation? Here it looks absent to me:

https://packages.debian.org/unstable/astro-simulation

Or should this categorisation wait until Stretch is released and the freeze is over?
There's obviously no point causing "astro-simulation" recommendations
to break in Stretch because of mpgrafic being missing there.
