• Metapackages:

  • Dependencies on other Debian packages (essential):
    • Use "Depends" for packages addressing an area of interest
    • Use "Recommends" for further interesting packages
    • Use "Suggests" for less important or non-free packages
  • Menu entries (recommended)
  • Configuration stuff (optional):
    • debconf questions (pre-seeding)
    • cfengine scripts
  • Special meta package: <cdd>-common
