I had done a second upload already prior to your email, without the dfsg
notification in the version but anyway omitting doc/t_coffee.doc. It must
have been a mistake of upstream, the paper preprint just does not belong
there, and I'd find the dfsg in the name missleading since we are not doing
anything to the documentation or the source of the package as such and
T-Coffee is supposed to be free already from what upstream says.

You mean, M-Coffee should become a second package and modifications that
address T-Coffee should become part of that package?
Bon nuit,
