Consider deprecating the astuff_sensor_msgs meta package #58

It's not currently clear what benefit the astuff_sensor_msgs meta package serves. Any messages in this repo will be auto-installed by the drivers since they are listed as dependencies anyway.

I would tend to agree with this decision. Additionally, meta-packages aren't a thing in ROS2. You can create a package which exec-depends on a bunch of other packages but there are no special tags or uses for them like there are in ROS1.
