Hi,

I added primer3 to the list of packages relevant to molecular biology.

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMolecularBiology

I still have some work to do with the multiple alignment software, but
we are getting to a point where a Debian user would have a decent
choice, along with tools downstream (sequence editor, phylogenic
analysis).

I will tackle the molecular biology software when a critical mass will
be attained, But I will contact the upstream authors of primer3 in
advance. For perlprimer, I am indeed interested by the program and sent
a bug recently. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364237

Have a nice day,
