There are also some interesting categories that don't correspond to
debian-science metapackages. Specifically Vector drawing tools, plot
digitizers (for extracting numbers from data you only have as a

split out from typesetting.
There is no problem in creating more metapackages if it makes sense
(which means having three or more dependencies or something like that).
BTW, plot digitizers: SOunds really interesting - needed such a thing.
Is there a package??
So AFAICT, other than the two packages mentioned above, anything
packaged for ubuntu is also packaged for debian. It would be worth
adding some packages to the debian-science metapackages, and perhaps
also going through to find interesting software not packaged for
debian.
Yes.
Kind regards from Mar del Plata
