Well, the main issue I still have with this is hijacking debian/rules to
run some scripts in ../debian-upstream/ which do all kinds of things -
e.g. setting $(MAKE) to make -j2 unconditionally. It also seems to do a
lot of things the upstream Makefiles could do, like installing data or
python stuff etc. - why is this not being done by make install?
Is the ballview_1.2.orig.tar.gz the final 1.2 version now? Where can I
download it (http://www.ballview.org/BALL/Downloads/BV-1.2/ only has
Windows and Mac OS installers it seems).
Also building it fails for me:
Installing shared libraries under

In general, I think ballview makes sense to include in debichem, I'd be
happy doing that.
cheers,
Michael
