Would it be unreasonable to ask that metapackages have to be _empty_,
i.e., that all their functionality it's in their control file?
Because the idea of tagging 'python' as a metapackage, when it
provides the Python FAQ, the Python Policy, and more importantly,
/usr/bin/python, does not sound too good to me.
