ITP bug filed and lintian warnings cleaned except for
latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version. While in the first
moment I was thinking there is no need to care I now wonder whether it
might have some effect on Ubuntu / BioLinux users. If I might leave the
lower version it might happen that these users just do not "see" the new
version. The only way to fix this would be to use an epoch. In
general: If you release packages somewhere outside of Debian you are
well advised to use <version>-0<something> instead of
<version>-1<something> or also <version>~-1<something> might do to
avoid this type of complication. I wonder whether you consider this
a real problem and I should upload the package as
1:0.0.20101212-1
(well, once I use the epoch I also would force my policy to prepend date
style version numbers by 0.0. - just in case upstream will start a real
version numbering ... even if this in the case of microbiomeutil might
be useless care).

It would be creat if you would commit this to SVN soonish and please
remember the versioning hint above.

As you might have seen I tend to issue the ITP in a quite late phase of
packaging to not bloat BTS with never closed ITPs - but that's a
personal habit of mine.
Kind regards
Andreas.
