Yes. It looks fine for me.

freefem is the predecessor of freefem++. freefem was initially written in C 
while freefem++ evolved in C++. freefem is no longer developed upstream.

freefem3d was an extension of freefem from 2D to 3D. It is no longer developed 
upstream. 3D features have been conveyed to freefem++ since version 3 of the 
latter.

For the time being I think we can add libfreefem-dev to mathematics-dev and 
freefem3d to mathematics metapackages.

Regards
Dimitris
