Hi Charles,
I see your point but I think Depends is more appropriate. If someone
wants to use their own bowtie, I think they could still accomplish
that playing with $PATH. I also checked on the TopHat package from Tim
Booth at NEBC's PPA[1] and they are using Depends. I guess it would be
nice to keep the packages in sync for a future merge.
BTW, the NEBC team is doing a very nice work packaging most of the
Tools a local install of Galaxy[2] would need. This is exactly what
got me interested in Debian packaging.
