Got it, thanks. Do you that it could help new people like to write a 
minimal README on the repository explaining in a few steps how to make 
the correct changes to include new packages?

That was completely expected, I have quite bad jedi skills :)

Thanks for the long explanation, indeed it helps me a lot to understand 
how it works. All makes sense to me. Just a little detail:

Which is wrong since console-bridge is a library, no "console-bridge" as 
such. console-bridge is different from the other packages since it has 
been already uploaded. But I believe that, in the same way that you did 
for liburfdom we should add it as "Depends: libconsole-bridge-dev" in 
the corresponding tasks/robotics-dev, right?

Thanks again Andreas.
