The science overlay is incorrectly listing profiles, eclass, and licenses as valid categories.
This causes portage to return incorrect information as to the valid categories and subsequently returns profiles as packages under the profiles category.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.layman --add science
2.python -c 'import portage; print "profiles" in portage.settings.categories'
3.True

Actual Results:  
Should print "False"


In porthole, this causes profiles to show as a category. and the actual profiles to show as packages under that category.
