Please clarify: What packages (besides SUN Java and Opera for obvious
reasons) are Debian-Edu without being Debian?

What makes sense to me is that the developers growing an expertise in
"slicing" Debian into the sub-parts distributed as Skolelinux focus on
the knowledge specific to that slicing.
I don't think it makes sense to bother *all* those same folks with C++
transitions, Python policy changes, different version control systems,
and and..., just because the software has an educational use.
Those interested in both infrastructural development of a CDD and
specific packaging of an educational piece of software can simply join
both teams - but when mixing then you make it more complex to join and
help out.

There's nothing wrong in teams with only a sinlge person. The
difference between single-person teams and personal maintainance is the
difficulty for person number two to join later on.
