Hi Afif,

I'd like to come back to this plan:

I checked why science-tools is not a metapackage (I should have checked
at debian-science upload time :-() and noticed that science/tasks/tools
says:

    Metapackage: false

and the reason is given in the description of the task:

   Note that there is no according metapackage created since the packages
   might be to different to make sense to install all on one machine.

I think this reason has a point - so we come back to the discussion how
to get a sensible dependency between cwltool and our tasks ...

Kind regards

       Andreas.
