Hi,

  This is what I understood too:

  Christophe, is pkg-scicomp suitable for Andreas plans?

  With respect to the packaging policy
http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/05/msg00029.html (for
pkg-science or whatever it turns into), for the sake of simplicity, I
would suggest to adopt and adapt the Debian Med existing policy:
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

  Please, people in charge (Christophe, Sylvestre), clarify those
questions. And as I already stated in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/01/msg00035.html I would
be happy to join whichever group.

Best regards,
Frédéric
