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 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.
