While you are free to commit to
ssh://git.debian.org/git/blends/projects/science.git
you might like consider to simply add the according metapackages
to the Debian Science tasks. I think from an advertising point of
view it would be not the best idea to drop Astronomy from Science.
A (very long - close to 10 years) planned feature of the Blends web
sentinel is to "resolve" such dependencies on the web pages. The good
news is that with the rewrite of the web sentinel to use UDD exclusively
this feature is way more easy to implement.
I just leave it to your decision to remove the tasks or follow my
suggestion.
Kind regards
Andreas.
