I'd like to move forward with the idea of trying to rename our
metapackages, or at least some of them, to something that's a little
more inherently understandable.
The one that I think is obvious is renaming debathena-workstation to
debathena-graphical, which would eventually leave the name
"debathena-workstation" open to be what we're currently calling
"debathena-managed"
I think that both -login and -standard could also benefit from better
names, but damned if I know what they are.
If the goal is to reuse the name debathena-workstation, we'll have to
execute the transition slowly so that people don't get
"debathena-workstation" changed out from under them.
Do people have ideas for more descriptive names for -standard or
-workstation?
Do people have objections to workstation -> graphical?
