In an earlier discussion (on debian-science, I think) we talked about
how something like science::computation could be taken as computer
science. Those who decided can speak for themselves, but that might
have been the reason. I think it is a reason to avoid
science::computation.
That said, since all programs do computation (I guess packages of data
don't), I'm not sure what the scope of the tag is.
