  (As a maintainer of this tasks package) I would like to emphasize
that the names were chosen from existing debtag, namely

    science-astronomy for field::astronomy
    science-biology for field::biology
    science-chemistry for field::chemistry
    science-electronics for field::electronics
    science-geography for field::geography
    science-mathematics for field::mathematics
    science-physics for field::physics
    science-statistics for field::statistics
    science-typesetting for use::typesetting
    science-viewing for use::viewing

  The goal is the have the simplest common (even if not perfect)
namespace. I have renamed the corresponding wiki pages
(http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience) accordingly.

  I advocate, when creating new categories in the repository, to take
a name already in a field::* or use::* (or other) facet of existing
debtags).

Best regards,
Frédéric Lehobey
