Qiime package modifications

[Tim Booth <avarus@fastmail.fm>]

Hi Steffen,

I've pushed some modifications to the Qiime package - I'm not finished
yet as it doesn't work properly but you can see what I'm doing.  Apart
from various cleanups (eg. original package ended up with two copies of
the documentations and various files erroneously gzipped) my main change
is to move the Python script out from /usr/bin and add a wrapper so
instead of typing:

check_id_map.py [...]

You type:

qiime check_id_map [...]

This abolishes a load of Lintian warnings. :-)

There may well be issues with my approach right now but my absolute
priority is to get a working package out to Bio-Linux users, so please
just bear with me while I do that.  Once the BL users say they are happy
I'll tidy up any loose ends.  My aim is to end up with a "qiime" package
that is "proper Debian" in SVN and a "bio-linux-qiime" wrapper package
in our repository that sorts out the non-free dependencies.

BTW - I wasted a fair amount of time by not realising that use of
rules/debhelper.mk and override_dh_* rules are mutually incompatible.
Eventually I realised that the documentation was no help and went and
read the debhelper.mk template directly, but as someone not fluent in
make syntax it was hard going...

Cheers,

TIM
