Sure, but you have more experience in how fine- or coarse-grained those
meta-packages/tasks should be/make sense.

Personally, I do not about anything special pertaining chemistry here -
I saw there is a "Debian Med Typesetting" task, but I wonder what is
special about it.

I think it would make more sense to have a few general baseline science
tasks which cover data manipulation/plotting and typesetting (and
perhaps others I have missed now) and which can be included by the
various fields so their users see them.
