Kind of that.  As I said I see more than an exclusive packaging team
in Debian Science: It is about contacting users and developers providing
a technical basis for not only packages but _a_ _set_ _of_ _packages_,
just working as a Custom Debian Distribution (and no, before this stupid
name couses another misunderstanding: a Custom Debian Distribution is
_defined_ as beeing completely internal in Debian - it's just the name
that sounds confusing ...) [1]

Thanks for your work on the Wiki anyway

          Andreas.
