I agree. Is it not the same idea as the pkg-science team started by
Sylvestre Ledru (package there what is not more suitable somewhere
else like in DebiChem, pkg-scicomp, Debian Med, etc.)?

  http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-science/
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/02/msg00049.html
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2008/02/msg00055.html

I mean should not it be done under pkg-science umbrella? (I do not
mind what will be the final location of the repository.)

Best regards,
Frédéric
