I'm not sure if you can.  Individual metapackages with individual release
cycles has always worked well for me.  Also, I'm beginning to see that
system-wide changes are not as good as per-user changes, and those per-user
changes vary, depending on the age of the child.  So I have had to give up
on the "group" concept because unlike in a CDD like Debian-med, where roles
are more rigid, the "role" of a child of a certain age isn't.

I left a message on the commit.  But I guess you are right.  This is not
enough.  I should re-add the junior dir and add a README.junior-has-moved
in it to explain where it went.

I don't know.  I didn't reject cdd-dev because it's a bad toolkit.  It was
because I began to see ways in which Jr. was quite different from the
"typical" CDD, so it was not really as good a match as I at first thought.
