If there's just "science-typesetting" in the Suggests:, then it's hard to
know beforehand, which packages are actually going to be installed. But for
the moment, it is probably good enough.
A better solution would probably be to be able to include all the packages
that science-typesetting depends on/suggests automatically as
Suggests:/Depends: into med-typesetting.
But maybe, that would be overengineering it. A simple cut'n'paste from their
tasks-file might be enough every now and then... Probably after some
stabilization period, these files aren't going to change that
often/drastically anyway...
