I know about BLAST and BLAST+, but what I'm not sure about is the
packaging and distribution. I think NCBI distribute BLAST both as a
standalone download and as part of the monster NCBI-tools tarball which
is already packaged (not in Debian-Med) by Aaron Ucko. But something is
missing from that - certainly something needs to be changed to make
T-Coffee happy - but I ran out of time looking at this in Lübeck.

Just to clarify, I meant the upstream of T-Coffee, not BLAST+.
I committed everything to SVN before I packed up on Sunday. I can't
imagine any reason why it wouldn't suitable for Sid but I don't want to
promise it works as I didn't test it.
