My personal opinion about this is that pkg-scicomp is not as active as it was before and I would really love if we would be able to consolidate things according to the Debian Science Policy[1].

The reasons are various: * many people are involved in both projects * debian-science has a scope which integrates pkg-scicomp * it is not obvious for new people which project contact to submit a package * it would avoid some duplicate work on administrative tasks At the same time would it be possible to move the vtk package under the debian-science umbrella too ? It has been *extremely* hard over the last week to communicate in between Denis Barbier, Dominique Belhachemi, A. Maitland Bottoms, Steve M. Robbins. VTK is really a central package and a mailing list would really help here.
