Currently I doesn't have but I don't see why this cannot be done. You
can use cdd-dev to build meta-packages which depends of others but
also have arch dependent code inside of it OR build meta-packages for
each arch ... other possibility.

Look above.

When we have some code more stable I will start to move current
debian-edu code to use cdd-dev and then we will release both together,
I think. (I need to discuss it with pere and joeyh to do it).
Another option is: we release when this is ready and then start to
arrange whith debian-edu how handle this. For example, we can do
debian-edu depends of cdd-common and then in another upload move it to
use all cdd-dev.
