I would not include debian-science to the blends listed in the installer: it is more an umbrella to organize the packages then a useful selection of software. The software selection is also inconsitent: it only contains software that is not maintained by a more specialized blend (like debichem). So, there is probably no real use case to install Debian Science in its current form (unless someone takes the work to kurate a "Generic Debian Science Workstation" or so). On our last attempt, we had an opt-in for the blends to be in the installer; I would propose the same now as well. Cheers Ole
