Hi all,
I think that in the absence of answer from the other maintainers, we
will not have much choice anyway.
So let us wait, say one month, and if nothing happens I would :
- move everything in /usr/lib/emboss,
- provide symlinks in /usr/bin, with em_ prefixes when necessary,
- tell to the user via README.Debian to modify his PATH for bypassing the
em_* binaries.
- file bugs against the other packages according to policy.
In two weeks, I will re-send an email to their maintainers.
Have a nice day,
