Hi Steffen,
Actually, we had a discussion on -devel last year, and they do not use
our debian-med packages :( I think that they let users compile analysis
tools by themselves so that they have a full control.
Interestingly, this is also how it works here at RIKEN: we have servers
(running CentOS 4, how awful...) on which there is almost nothing
installed by default. In the end it makes sense because upgrading a
software right in the middle of an analysis can be a bad idea, and each
user has a different calendar.
Since dpkg can install the programs in a non-root directory, a nice
solution would be to bring this functionality into apt... Let's try to
remember this for the Google SoC 2009!
Have a nice day,
