After a few discussions with Raphael and Adam, I would like to propose to create a pkg-science on alioth in order to create a dynamic around scientific software packaging. Adam created a package of Opencascade. To simplify the maintenance of this package and to create of future packages like Code_Aster or Salome, we could create a "task force" on Alioth.
I really like the idea and I strongly suggest to follow the Debian-Med model regarding layout of the repository. The additional value is that you might profit from those scripts and documentation tools we are developing in Debian-Med like: http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/ I will not personally participate much in the Debian-Science effort but I'm perfectly willing to enable you to productively use those tools and try to promote some synergy effects.
