I'm about to add the following to debian/control in the next upload:
Package: boinc
Architecture: any
Depends: boinc-client, boinc-manager
Description: meta package for the BOINC client and the manager.
The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) is a
software platform for distributed computing: several initiatives of
various scientific disciplines all compete for the idle time of
desktop computers. The developers' web site at the University of
Berkeley serves as a common portal to the otherwise independently run
projects.
.
This package depends both on the BOINC core client program that is
required to participate in any project that uses BOINC, and the
BOINC Manager, a graphical monitor and control utility for the
BOINC core client.
** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
** Changed in: boinc (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel Hahler (blueyed)

Please provide meta package to install boinc-client and boinc-manager
(boinc-manager confuses new users)
