Thank you for other replies.
A draft for such a section could be:
"
How do I use Debian/Science?
You can use Debian Science perfectly as you are using Debian
because it is a completely internal project and is nothing else
than Debian itself. We just felt a need to found a team that works
as a strike force for scientific software inside Debian.
There have been efforts to create a CDD (Custom Debian Distribution)
for Debian/Science, but at the moment no installer is available.
Please see the section 'http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/CDD' for
more details.
Moreover, a proposal to create a custom repository for science-related
unofficial packages has been made; see
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/UnofficialRepository for more
info.
