I have started a wiki page at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Grid, and it is linked to from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience Currently only Globus, voms and lfc are mentioned. If someone wants to fill in all the globus packages, they can - I haven't time at the moment. Ideally it would contain information on how the packages work together - so if anyone wants to write that, or provide links, then please go ahead.
