You mean "every package does" or "this package particularly does"? (If
it's the second: why?)

Posting do debian-mentors is the first thing I did, some days ago...
Anyway, I'm cross-posting this reply too.

No, I think Linux Kernel is a "nice" piece piece of software in a geek
sense,
gvb is (I hope) in a more literal sense. I just wanted to spot the fact
that some attention is given to aestethical appearance of the GUI.
Anyway, I understand there is risk of misunderstanding, so I removed it.

Thank you for spotting those errors. Actually, I did remove references to
Python, Pygtk and Cairo because they are indeed informations targeted
basically to developers, but I think it is better to keep the one to
scipy, because it is a library targeted even to non developers (e.g.
as replacement for matlab), and for instance someone using Synaptic
(where you don't see immediately dependences) could find it interesting.
Obviously, all this has been fixed in version 1.1.2-2:

Thank you for your attention
