A good idea. You might want to carry this idea into the general
discussion on package organization now going on at debian-devel. I

Basically, we have a number of individuals maintaining, IMHO, a number
of pretty high quality scientific computing packages for clusters, but
no one with the time to work on the web page, or coordinate the effort
