I think it's rather easy if you would start using cdd-dev
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/cdd/projects/junior/?rev=0&sc=0
for the meta packages. For the moment cdd-dev knows only one
user per CDD but it wouln't be much work to enable more users.
Cdd-dev contains the ability of user menus quite easily. It
generates the menu entries automatically if the dependant
package has its own menu but you are also able to override
this or add new menu items for those where the package is
lacking a menu entry. If you are interested in using
cdd-dev for Debian-Jr packages you should check out SVN and
compare with the changes that might debian-jr have undergone
since September 2004 when I prepared these templates for
you. Once you did so we should try to design a reasonable
setup for more than one user (for all CDDs - well this is
the sense of cdd-dev to not reinvent the wheel).
BTW: I believe that debian-jr list is not the proper one to discuss such
change;
No, if you want to discuss in the direction I was suggesting
debian-custom is the right list.
BTW2: It might be possible that all above is just rubbish; if so, please
write it down without starting a flamewar :)
It is far from beeing rubish - I like your idea.
Kind regards
Andreas.
