Each time I face our "packaged" list I'm dismayed at my categories.  First
off, I hate "misc" categories and we have at least one of those (see
"Education" top level category which is perhaps more aptly named
"Education - Misc").  But I am equally uncomfortable with categories with
only one or two things in them.  So I have therefore attempted to build
the junior-* meta packages using a "most populated first" rule of thumb.
That would make these four the next on my list to create.

    junior-sound
        Depends: bplay, cdtool, grip, timidity, vorbis-tools, xmms

    junior-puzzle
        Depends: codebreaker, gbatnav, gtans, lmemory, rocks-n-diamonds, xjig

    junior-system-tools
        Depends: lavaps, mc, xcruise

    junior-3d-games
        Depends: armagetron, gltron, tuxracer

Followed by these rather poor or not-well-populated categories:

    junior-coloring
        Depends: gimp, xpaint

    junior-education
        Depends: gcompris, ssystem

    junior-card-games
        Depends: ace-of-penguins

    junior-simulation-games
        Depends: freeciv

    junior-text-games
        Depends: bsdgames, moon-buggy | moon-buggy-esd

    junior-network-games
        Depends: xblast

    junior-internet-tools
        Depends: mozilla

I am certain if I combed the list archives I could supplement at least the
games meta packages with some more.  And I think we do need something in
the way of junior-programming which is not represented here at all.  Some
ideas on that were tossed around and I'll have to see what I can come up
with out of the list archives as well.  Can anyone help me out with the
rest?  Start with the "poor or not-well-populated" list and feed me some
suggestions.

Thanks,
Ben
