I have gathered this information (and more) into a temptative
debian-science source package building several science-* packages
(with cdd-dev machinery).
I am unsure if it is ready to be uploaded to unstable. But I would be
happy to hear your feedback and suggestions on dependencies to have
(or not) and take them into account.
