So, should all science software really go under Education??? Or should I use

The consensus on the debian-science list is no. Education is simply not
the right category. We have made several efforts to have this changed in
the free desktop specification to no avail. Some of us simply use an
sensible category and let the lintian errors pile up until they come to
their senses.
