I must say that I didn't understand your proposal.
The nice thing about python libs is that they usually serve as end-user
applications (though ipython), and also as development packages. The
ease of conversion between an interactive analysis to a programs is IMO
what makes Python so successfull (and therefore maybe an
python-astronomy package would be useful).
Back to the [python-]astropy-all package: in the moment, the best would
probably be to have it separate. I am still not sure whether it fits to
the idea of a "blends task". If it would be created independently, would
it be easy to integrate as a blends task if I change my mind?
Best
