So, it seems to me that the following layout makes sense:
1. One spkg providing the code for the computation of modular
cohomology rings of finite p-groups; it also has a 'tiny' database,
that knows typical ring theoretic invariants, and that is able to find
the data (i) on the disk, (ii) in the web, and (iii) knows to create
new data from scratch, if needed.
2. Data stored, e.g., at http://sagemath.org/sagedb/ so that the user
can download each ring s/he wants to have.
3. Another spkg that just installs the full 20 GB of data, so that the
user has the complete data and does not need to download (provided the
first spkg has been installed as well).

And thank you all for the various hints on creation of relational data
bases! I will see if I am able to understand those things :)

Cheers,
     Simon
