I would sort your list in this way:
a) Some packages are totally obsolete or not very proper for teaching
( as pcb, kicad is a dependency of education-electronics, pcb a
suggestion, is like comparing openoffice to vi, which one whould you use
with teachers?). Also klogic  (also a suggestion of
education-electronics) is much poorer than ksimus.
b) Some others are already included after the education-xxxx packages
reorganization   (quanta as dependency and kturtle, kwordquiz,
ksociograma,  sunclock as suggestions)
c) Some others are not in Debian (qgis)
d) some others are very kde related, so if people like them, they should
be under education-kde (celestia-kde, juk, kformula, koffice, karbon,
kolourpaint, kpdf, ksnapshot, krita, krusader, kspread, kview )
e) Some others should already be there, but are not (tuxmath & xsane). 
f) Some others maybe would need a new category: education-religion
(bibletime, bibletime-i18n, hebcal, itools)
g)For the rest I don't have a strong opinion, but if you know teachers
use them, it's more than enough to include them (glame, hazim, do they
really use hazim in Germany? & pingus)



So,
 - I would not include packages from points a),b) and c) and would push
Seminarix users to replace their use for better choices.
- If those of point d) are not in education-kde and you think they are
useful, I 'd include them in that package, but that's something that KDE
users from Debian Edu might think as I'm not that kind of user ;-)
- For point e) I'll include them a.s.a.p, as I do have a strong opinion:
tuxmath and xsane should be in Debian Edu.
- For point f), maybe a new metapackage is needed: education-religion
- For g), my opinion is include them if they are used, but I'd like to
hear more opinions.



OTOH, I think another metapackage to install all the educative
metapackages is needed. Every time I install a workstation and I want to
add the educative metapackages (mathematics, music, electronics, etc.
not laptop, kde,  gnome, networked, services, etc.) I have to do it one
by one. Maybe an education-whatever would be a good idea, but I don't
find the right name for "whatever".

Regards.
