Sigh, I wonder how we managed to miss that then.

Apparently, I'm the 10th, I just found two more on IRC ;)
14:38 < KiBi> jordi: Make that 9th.
14:40 < mrvn> aeh, 10th.

Ok, let's see if we can get one of the ftpmasters to say something.

Oh, this is excellent news, a lot better than I hoped. I'll checkout the
repository and comment further.
Looking at the pkg-escience-devel archive, I assume all packaging discussion
should take place here. I'll send my coments later on, and will commit
trivial fixes to the VCS.

Ok. My major issue after the first glance is "torque-dev", versus
"libtorque-dev", which is what I'd expect. That can of course be corrected
using Replaces and so on "in harmony", but we can discuss if we want to
do this and when.
I'll subscribe to this list right away.
