Hi Frédéric,
I have just a few comments.
1) Should these metapackages Recommend instead of Depending on the
real ones? I see that is what the education-* metapackages do and
presumably they have some reason for it.
2) Maybe these metapackages could Suggest the corresponding
education-* metapackages.
3) science-physics should definitely recommend root-system once that's
out of experimental.
best regards,
