Another very reasonable approach is debtagging the scientific packages and use the features of debtags to install scientific packages.Using debtags would be very helpfull for GUI and CLI tools. But I havn't seen these tags in the "available" file [/var/lib/dpkg/available]. Maybe this has changed in the new frozen/unstable tree?
I hope that somebody of debtags-devel list might be able to
give a short summary about the possible usage of DebTags for the
purpose of "installing all scientific applications" as it was
requested in the thread starting at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/02/msg00011.html
I'm unfortunately not prepared to give a reasonable overview -
it is just on my agenda to learn more about DebTags.
Many thanks
Andreas.
