Thanks for your feedback.

Great.

So I think it is to blitz maintainer to decide whether he wants to
join pkg-scicomp of debian-science as both seems to be relevant.
I understand from your message pkg-scicomp is not designed to gather
more general scientific software outside the scope you gave
above. blitz in this case was both in the pkg-scicomp and
debian-science scope (the latter one being broader).

Thanks a lot. I already was subscribed to the mailing lists.
