Hi all,
dialign-t (the program) will not work without dialign-t-data (the
package) unless the user knows what he is doing and provides a path to
alternative matrices in the command line. If dialign-t Recommends:
dialign-t-data, then it is possible to uninstall dialign-t-data and to
use alternative matrices in /usr/share/dialign-t under a name taken by
some of the ones distributed by dialign-t-data. In the end, I hardly
can find a reason why somebody would want to do that. So let's Depend:
dialign-t-data. Sorry for changing my mind twice :)

Good point: new upstream version could use a default matrix which is not
present in the current one.
I have commited the changes in the SVN,
