I guess nauty in mathematics maybe libnauty-dev in
mathematics-dev. I'm not sure if the -dev tasks are intended to be
used for only packages that have no real UI, or if splitting the
binary packages from a single source package is a reasonable use.

I have also ITP'ed a DFSG free alternative (bliss) that seems quite
functional. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528925.
I guess it can also be added to the same task(s).
Upstream of polymake has agreed in principle to migrate, but
(surprise!) has very little time now. So I think even as a build-dep
nauty will be required for one release cycle. And in any case, it is
in some sense the standard software for graph isomorphism.
Perhaps it is time for a reminder or a link to how tasks work; I
confess to not paying enough attention so far. Is it be possible for
members of the debian science team to directly edit debian science
tasks?
All the best,
David
