I added these metapackages as well as their first dependencies in the
following patch:

The rationale to add also the dependencies is to add entries for these
on the tasks pages - it has no practical effect on the meta package
side.

Please note: I know literally *nothing* about robotics so its absolutely
not sensibly to ask for my preference.  Please, pretty please review the
current tasks which are containing some historic ros-* packages and send
me either a patch or directly commit it to the debian-science source
package Git[1].  Any DD has commit permissions and those who are working
actively on robotics packages should maintain this task themselves.

BTW, you might like to consider a robotics Blend which enables you to
use Blends tools to maintain the metapackages you created manually.

This plus its dependencies are done - please review!

Kind regards
