We've iterated on the metapackages for Indigo. They are captured in REP 142.  http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0142.html  Please take a moment to look at the list and if you have any comments add them to the pull request or comment here. https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rep/pull/72

We'd like to make this active soon so people know what to expect.
