Thanks for working on this.

I'm not sure what might be the question here. My original question was
the set of metapackages that results from the ezgo package source with
the Blends tasks files. I have no idea what PhET might be but it seems
to be something that should be packaged as a separate source package.
If it is for educational purposes it might sense to seek contact with
debian-edu team.

I se no real reason to remove the old Git repository. Why not cloning
it and if you have diverged to much (which I hope will not happen in
future to often) simply use one (or more) mass commits that make sense.
Its hard to wild guess what might be the most sensible strategy since
I have no idea what you want to commit.

Yes. But please distinguish between
1. Separate software with its own homepage that should be provided
as packages
2. The EzGO Blends package which is maintained by Debian.
Kind regards
Andreas.
