When I removed the astronomy tasks from Debian Science, I added two
transitional packages directly to debian/control.stub: science astronomy
and science-astronomy-dev, to provide a smooth transition between the
old tasks and Debian Astro.
I think, now Debian Astro should just (manually) mentioned somewhere on
the Debian Science Web page and linked to the home page. Meta-tasks that
pull other Pure Blends completely is IMO a bit overkill. But we should
make a common decision here together with the other Blends that somehow
relate to Science: DebianMed, DebiChem, etc.

You (Thibaut) could put yorick-mira into the "datareduction" task of
Debian Astro. Yorick itself (yorick-full) is already listed under
"frameworks":
https://blends.debian.org/astro/tasks/
We also have yorick-cubeview ad yorick-spydr in viewers, and yorick-yao
in simulation. Please adjust these as well if you like.
