Hi Andreas,
In creating the ITP through reportbug, there are two things that are puzzling me.
The first one is, since I closed the first snp-sites ITP bug, I was assuming that there wouldn't be a snp-sites package:
js21@builder:~/deb_alioth/snp-sites$ reportbug --email
j.s.soares@gmail.com wnpp

Using 'Jorge Soares <

Will send report to Debian (per lsb_release).
What sort of request is this? (If none of these things mean anything to you, or you are trying to report a bug in an existing package, please press Enter to exit reportbug.)
1 ITP This is an `Intent To Package'. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
2 O The package has been `Orphaned'. It needs a new maintainer as soon as possible.
3 RFA This is a `Request for Adoption'. Due to lack of time, resources, interest or something similar, the current maintainer is asking for someone else to maintain this package. They will maintain it in the meantime, but perhaps not in the best
possible way. In short: the package needs a new maintainer.
4 RFH This is a `Request For Help'. The current maintainer wants to continue to maintain this package, but they needs some help to do this, because their time is limited or the package is quite big and needs several maintainers.
5 RFP This is a `Request For Package'. You have found an interesting piece of software and would like someone else to maintain it for Debian. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
Choose the request type: 1
Please enter the proposed package name: snp-sites
Checking status database...
A package called snp-sites already appears to exist (at least on your system); continue? [y|N|q|?]? y
Nonetheless, I simply said yes.
