Sort of: while debian-med is already part of Quantian, it also helps to have
people who know and use particular software more than I do.

But the tags for Bio mean more to you than they mean to me, which is why you
could potentially make a more informed selection than a naive reading of the
package browser.  

Ultimately the goal cannot be to include "everything". Hence some filtering
will be needed, and that does not happen at the Debian level.
