Hi Andreas,

I think that it is borderline : we removed a package a bit similar from
med-bio some time ago (bugsx). However, Avida seems to be more related
to the field of biology.

If we add avida-base, then we should consider matrem and achilles as
well. Alternatively, those three could be part of a debian-science
metapackage.

Have a nice day,
