I am not a DD yet.

OK.

astronomy-dev (see below)

Sorry: I think this should be removed from the task lists. Although I
recently packaged it, it is considered deprecated by its authors, and
only used within saods9. It should not be used for new developments.

Into astronomy-dev, like python-pywcs
Just some more comments on the list:
* wnpp "MIDAS" is of 2007 and is already archived. Keeping it on the
list may be misleading.
* The Python packages seem to have no defined place. Some (like
python-pyfits) are in astronomy-dev, other (like python-scientific)
are in astronomy. I think this should be consistent, and given that
they are more used for writing analysis scripts than for interactive
use, I would put them to "-dev". The same for "tcl" packages.
* I have a package "xpa" that is designed to be of general use, but in
fact only used by one, astronomical, package (saods9). Maybe it would
be useful to put this onto the list as well?
Best regards
Ole
