Ubuntu science meta-packages

(i) For Ubuntu Science and Packages see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuScience

Ubuntu science meta-packages would install sets of programs useful for particular researchers.

Existing meta-packages along this line are the Debian-Med packages for medical practitioners and medical researchers which are already in Ubuntu.

Rather than installing a meta-package one could just type sudo apt-get install and paste the packages you want from the lists below. For example to install the packages of ubuntu-scientist-base type

sudo apt-get install tetex-base tex-bin tetex-extras build-essential plotutils xfig latex-xft-fonts 

At the moment this is just a vague idea. It requires the input of many people.

If you know packages that are in the official ubuntu repositories that would be useful for your speciality please add them below.
