thanks for working on these math packages.

Usually predependencies are created by those people who are interested
in the final package. If the final package is maintained by Debian
Science I'd call it perfectly consequently that Debian Science also
maintains its predepends. We have several examples for this and so
the short answer to your question is "yes".
Kind regards
Andreas.
