I guess the GPAW's place is here: 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Physics
There are already two similar packages there: Abinit, Openmx.
But in order to understand how blends work (after reading few chapters 
of http://blends.debian.org/blends/) a question:
why nwchem (https://packages.debian.org/sid/nwchem) is not listed at 
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Chemistry ?
In any case how do we proceed further with GPAW?

Best regards,

Marcin
