I plan to do this since several month but my time currently does not
permit it (and will not until this summer because). I'm in favour of
cdd::med::<something>
for Debian-Med while I'm not convinced that I will drop the
meta packages approach.

Sure. This is the same for all CDDs: Software is designed to
satisfy a certain class of users and the different CDDs take
care for these different classes.

Especially for debian-jr and debian-edu I see some intersection
that should be reasonable reflected in the tags.

Not at first glance - seems well thought.

I'm sorry, not in winter time. We've got a certain amount of
snow ...
Kind regards
