That's what makes it even more impressive ! 

I really like these pages:
 https://blends.debian.org/electronics/bugs/
 https://blends.debian.org/electronics/thermometer/

So, I see what has been done for science-astronomy. It has just been added to
control.stub in the Science blend marked as a transitional package which
depends on the various tasks of the new blend. It looks like it has been done
this way because there were already two tasks in Science which formed what is
now in the astro blend (science-astronomy AND science-astronomy-dev).

For science-electronics we can do almost the same, but even simpler - since
there is only one electronics task in Science. Just add this to control.sub for
the science blend:

Package: science-electronics
Section: oldlibs
Architecture: all
Depends: electronics-all
Description: Debian Science Electronics transitional package
 Debian-Electronics is now a separate Debian Pure Blend and allows a fine-grained
 control on the topics to install. To ease the transition, this package will
 install all user related tasks from Debian-Astro.


That would make it always follow whatever tasks we later put into the new blend.
Would it not suffice for all our needs? Well, the task will disappear from the
web page for the Science blend, but that is probably not a problem?

Cheers
Ruben
