It is not per se about blends. I see blends as the best and easy
solution to jump on to make Debian more appealing to the generic
audience, be it a science or any other user-base with given interests.
With the talk though I want to express the opinion that Debian is
already ready to become a distribution of choice for many user-bases
among mortals, and that is a particularly good fit for scientific users.
Question is: why then it hasn't become popular among them (yet)? and I
speculate that it is simply due to the lack of visibility of
Debian among those users and this issue could be easily addressed.
Moreover I wanted to reiterate some issues, currently not fully
addressed in Debian, which are somewhat specific to scientific
user-base.
