organize metapackages by aspect

abstract:
different groups of users may benefit from different metapackages, organized to suit
their needs - for example, music-making, graphic editing, movie creating, etc.

problem:
catering to the needs of different groups of users is hard.
for each different group of users (especially new ones) - finding the right tools for
the job is difficult - the names are confusing, and the variety available on synaptic is
staggering.

solution:
offer aspect-oriented metapackages, with "first-class" publicity on the "add/remove
programs" application. throw in a gui for each of the aspects.

rationale:
instead of searching the internet, or synaptic, ubuntu may provide preselected
metapackages for different groups of people, this is a good thing because:
1. it enables each interest group to have its set of tools easily, and builds on the
experience of other users to provide the best enviroment for doing 'X'.
(be it music making, movie making, math, etc)
2. it is (imho) a killer app: the ability to easily cater to the needs of different
groups of users, without them having to make the research.

use cases:
1. jon is an electric engineer, and new to linux. he runs add/remove programs,
and sees the `aspect-oriented ubuntu` tab.
inside, he can choose music-making, math, and EDA.
he chooses EDA, and geda, ghdl, alliance, xcircuit, qucs, oregano, etc are installed,
and small py-gtk (for example) is installed as well, with the different programs listed.

2. norton is an indie musician, and happens to have ubuntu installed.
he opens up the add/remove program, and chooses music-aspect from the relevant
tab. now he got audacity, mx44, ubuntustudio, jack, and low-latency kernel installed.
he plug-in his guitar, and begins to jam.

3. sarah is a mathematician. she fires up math-aspect, and get R, wxMaxima, freemat,
octave, latex, etc installed and ready for use.

impact:
1. may induce the need to package additional software.
2. default needs to be cleverly choosen - as has been done with the default ubuntu
installation - not everybody will get anything they want, but they will get most of it.
3. some kind of gui, that will group all the programs for each aspect can be useful.
it will clarify the usages of each program (for example: ghdl - vhdl compiler)

inspiration:
1. ubuntustudio.
2. eclipse "views"
