I guess I was not yet clear about listing not yet uploaded packages and
so I'd like to work with an example. If you look at
http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio#pkgvcs-debs
you se a lot of entries which are also created by simply add
Depends: acacia, mmos-assembler, apollo, ...
to the bio task of Debian Med. These entries will end up as
Suggests: acacia, mmos-assembler, apollo, ...
in med-bio package which remains perfectly installable and valid despite
the packages are not in Debian. However, visitors of the web sentinel
page get a clear image what we are working on.

That's a perfectly nice idea but orthogonal to what I wanted to express.

+1
In case you make some kind of scheduled meeting I could join this.
(I'm usually not on IRC.)
Kind regards
Andreas.
