To be more precise, the pkg-scicomp started way before the debian-science
packaging team. We started Debian Science
because many scientific packages don't belong to pkg-scicomp.
About the future, I have been in touch with Christophe (leader of
pkg-scicomp) and Manuel about merging both projects. I don't want to
talk for them but they both agree on this on the principle.
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
