It was me who wrote this wiki, as I thought that the DebianScientificComputingTeam was the only scientific team in Debian. Now that I learned that there are two, I think the purpose of Debian Science team could be to cover sort of everything, as you have said, while DebianScientificComputingTeam could cover high performance computing + visualization?
Kind of that. As I said I see more than an exclusive packaging team in Debian Science: It is about contacting users and developers providing a technical basis for not only packages but _a_ _set_ _of_ _packages_, just working as a Custom Debian Distribution (and no, before this stupid name couses another misunderstanding: a Custom Debian Distribution is _defined_ as beeing completely internal in Debian - it's just the name that sounds confusing ...)
