Exactly. I was not arguing based on the functionality but on the
things to do to make progress in integrating into Debian.
Both packages are open-source alternatives to non-free software. EMBOSS
replaces GCG [1], which is costly and closed, and Staden can sometimes
substitute for consed [2], which is free for academics and expensive for
the others.

Perhaps we should mention these URLs in the description on our
web pages.
Some part of Staden is also present in Fink (unfortunately, it is a
library only).

can it be easily ported to Debian ?
... if somebody would take over the packaging - why not?
Kind regards
Andreas.
