IMHO there is no reason to desperately rush away from debian-science
umbrella. However, as I explained in my lengthy mail I would regard a
separate project on Alioth as a lower entrance barrier for outsiders
from derived distributions. You could move astronomy packages slowly in
the next series of uploads quite relaxed.

As I said I would support this (not only in terms of words but also
with sponsering if needed).
