As you renamed both the source and binary packages 'biococoa', removing
the '.app' part, the current 'biococoa.app' package will stay in Debian
after we upload your work. If building SequenceConverter with BioCocoa
2.X is not possible, then I propose to rename the current biococoa.app
package "sequenceconverter.app", to avoid further confusions. I created
a sequenceconverter.app directory in our repository, in which we can do
further work on this package an prepare a renaming if needed (actually
much of the renaming was already prepared a few weeks ago but was
reverted because it would have been too intrusive for a last-minute
upload to our next release). From now on you can erase legacy files
related to SequenceConverter in the 'biococoa' package.
By the way, for the write access to our repository, please create a
guest account on http://alioth.debian.org, and apply to the debian-med
group: http://alioth.debian.org/project/request.php?group_id=30063
You are always welcome to ask questions before committing, and anyway,
there is no automatic update of the Debian packages from our work in
progress, so you do not risk to break thinks in our users' computers.
(An we also keep an eye on the commits through a dedicated mailing list:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-med-commit/ )
About the build error I reported, you found the answer:

Indeed, I needed to install libgnustep-base-dev. We will need to add it
in the "Build-Depends:" field of debian/control, otherwise autobuilding
may fail.
Many thanks for your work! I was a bit embarassed when I discovered
that our biococoa.app package did not contain BioCocoa, and you came
right in time :)
