Thanks for your effort.
Build-Depends:
* - CEPHES library (never heard of)
# - FFTW library
#* - GD library
#* - GDC library (is probably libgdchart)
# - GSL library
#* - PNG library
* - PROB library (seems to be some module from CEPHES lib)
* - CPROB library (seems to be some module from CEPHES lib)
* - NEWMAT library C++ matrix library (Ref:

* - NEWRAN library C++ randum number generator library (Ref:
'http://webnz.com/robert' is offline)
#* - ZLIB library
# - FFTW3 library

# - QT3 library
# - QWT library

# - tix (docs say version 8.1.4 )
IMHO all the '#' marked ones do definitely belong to an upstream tarball.
If I were you I would start telling the authors about this fact. Perhaps
the regard at least this.
I'm a little bit unsure about the '*' marked ones. I would think about
packaging the ones with external URLs (in case they become online
again). Discussing the issue with the authors might be a good idea
anyway. A hint to the Debian-Med project might be also interesting
for them. If you go on for this discussion it might be a good idea
to CC the list.
Depends:
# - gnuplot (included in binary form)
# - imagemagick (included in binary form)
Sounds stupid to me.
Suggests:
+ - afni
NO PACKAGE - freesurfer (you can get the source code as free download,
but you need a licence-key to run the prog - which is itself free for
non-commercial use)
Well, if it is a suggests I would ignore it for the moment and sort this
out once FSL is ready. But it is a little bit hard to decide for me as
a more or less outsider.
As you can see, AFNI is not really needed for FSL. But it is
nevertheless a nice package to have. I have invited the maintainer of
the inofficial package to join this discussion.
This is a good idea in any case and perhaps somebody cares for this
independently.
Kind regards
Andreas.
