I hope the attached patch clarifies what I mean. I do not pretend that
the patch makes really sense but it hopefully demonstrates what I mean.

+1
Should be discussed with Debian Edu.

This is what I mean in principle (read above that my patch might not be
sensible context wise).

In principle yes.
However, it might make sense to display rather the contents of the
metapackage dependencies on the web sentinel rather than the metapackage.
For instance
science-astronomy Depends astro-catalogs
The web sentinel **could** show instead of this Dependency
stardata-common, gliese, yale, astrometry-data-tycho2, astrometry-data-2mass
etc. As I said this is not implemented yet but it was requested a long
time ago and I think this makes some sense. Metapackage wise apt is
doing this automatically.
Kind regards
Andreas.
