Ubuntu science meta-packages

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

Another approach would be to type sudo apt-get install and paste the packages you want. 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 

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