Hope your DD application will proceed so we can stop thanking each

Ahhh, I should have put more attention onto your question then.

Its uploaded as in SVN. BTW, according to my criterion "use Git once
the source tarball was repackaged" which is the case here since we are
removing the seqan code copy, we should move this package to Git sooner
or later - latest with the next new upstream version.

Very cool that somebody of the team has a local r-b pipeline. While I
agree that this effort is really important I did not minded to install
it here. So its very good to know that somebody else is caring.
