Bug#793464: Aw: Bug#793464: astrometry-data-2mass -- Star catalogs for astrometry.net from 2MASS
Hi Ole,
please have a look at what
https://wiki.debian.org/getData
can possibly do for you.
An idea about how your package could possibly look like you find here

> Description : Star catalogs for astrometry.net from 2MASS
> Astrometry.net needs complete catalogs of star positions, which
> are provided with several resolutions in these packages.
>
> The uncompressed size of these catalogs upstream ranges from
> 129 kBytes (1000 stars) to ~15 GB (200 million stars), with
> roughly doubling the number of stars with each step. Since it
> is not useful to put flood the Debian archive with Milky Way
> stars, I started a discussion on debian-devel [1]. However, until
> there is a good solution, I would package a subset (total ~120 MB),
> which overs about 3 million stars. I still have no idea about the
> best way to split it into subpackages; probably I would combine the
> smallest catalogs into one 8 MB package, and then have one larger
> catalog per package (8 MB, 15 MB, 30 MB, 60 MB).
