Droping med-bio-contrib package



Hello,

I plan to build all med-* meta packages from one single source to gain
compatibility with other Custom Debian Distributions.  This will last some
days because I need cdd - packages reaching unstable as BuildDependency.

This will not change the structure or contents of the resulting meta packages
and thus it would not really change anything.  The only exception is that
I plan to drop the med-bio-contrib package in favour of adding the packages
which med-bio-contrib depends from to the list of "Suggests" of the med-bio
package.  This has the effect that you would loose a simple method to install
the non-free packages and need to select also the "Suggests" of the med-bio
package manually.  I personally would not regard this as major drawback
and we gain compliance to other Custom Debian Distributions.

I would like to know whether somebody think we should really keep
med-bio-contrib and I should not drop support for this.  It would not
be that hard to simply keep this package if it is of some importance
for anybody but if nobody would need it it would not make any sense
for me.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
