My personal suggestion would be to use

      cdd/projects/junior

for the meta packages stuff.

This is more kind of a political reason.  I really want to collect all
CDD-metapackage building stuff at this location to convince people to
use this stuff.  If these files would be spread over the alioth archive
it would be even harder to convince people not to invent their own wheels.

BTW, my offer to port debian-jr packages to the latest cdd-dev packages
is just valid.  I hesitated a little bit because I hoped to use the
new cdd-tool stuff but we do not have such stuff in our archive for
a long time and I guess this will not change in the near future.  So
I continued using cdd-dev for the time beeing.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
