Hi, There is not really a well thought out reason for maintaining it in the Debian Science team.
I arrived at these mobile packages via software-radio packages such as "osmo-trx", which I sort of consider science. Getting to libosmocore, we are getting higher in the OSI model, and suddenly it becomes more of production environment applications. I guess I was just thinking that most of my other packages have been science packages, I am in the Science team, and there are friendly sponsors interested in these packages also in the Science team. Also, where to draw the line between science and not science is not very clear.. A third reason is that I have been told that it is better to maintain packages in teams, and of those teams in which I am a member, Debian Science was the only one that vaguely could fit.
