I would approach the question of a team by asking what values we have as Debian science developers. I have already seen Andreas representing consistency and attention to detail, and I would agree that we should display these if we have a new team. I have some other aesthetics too: When I first

David, Before we kill pkg-science, are people ok with pkg-scicomp including e.g. graph theory? I.e. stuff outside the normal numerical idea that some people have about scientific computing? I certainly don't mind, but when I hear scientific computing, I think of numerics. I guess you are
