Hi Olivier,

I think that as long as no other package depend on the bioali and bioseq
libraries, the current situation is sufficient.

I had a look and added a symbols so that the dependancy on libsquizz goes
through the shlibs:Depends substitution variable.

Unfortunately, I also found a non-free file. I think that our archive
administrators enforce the same policy for software code and for data.
Therefore, you have the choice between:

 - Delete the non-free file and disable the regression test(s) where
   it is used.

 - Upload the package to the non-free section of the Debian archive,
   instead of Debian proper.

 - Discuss with Upstream so that he finds a free replacement.

By the way, perhaps you can also report Upstream that the man pages that he
installs in the man5 directory still have ‘1’ as a section in their .TH line.
Correcting this would simplify their installation. Also, I see that you wrote a
manpage for squizz, but there is one from upstream as well, that you might have
overlooked.

Have a nice week-end,
