Role of afno

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi Tim,

after having fixed a lot of bugs in old packages I was diving into our
todo list and found afno.  Since you commited spme packaging stuff for
afno I guess it might be useful for BioLinux.  I checked your packaging
in SVN and tried to enhance it to latest Debian Med standards.  However,
the package FTBFSes with

...

I wonder whether the package is worth spending more time into it (asking
some C++ experts what might be wrong here) or whether the package might
be not needed any more since there might be some better replacements.

Kind regards and thanks for your initial work on this

     Andreas.
