Hi all,
interestingly, they just published a correspondance in Nature about
public repositories. I have contacted them in private and will let you
know the outcome.

In my search for packages already made, I found another repository, in
the university of Waterloo, Canada. Same question : do you know them ?
https://www.bioinformatics.uwaterloo.ca/wiki/index.php?refs=Local%20Debian%20Repository
I will contact them next week. They have at least one package of a GPLed
program which is not available elswhere (LAGAN). The closeness or their
repository makes sense as it also contains proprierary software, and
open-source-but-do-not-make-money software (for instance, BLAT).
Hope that the next mails will be for good news,
--
Charles
