Testing automatic mapping between the Elixir directory and Debian
During the Elixir work meeting in Trondheim yesterday, I started in a
tool to try to locate Debian packages for the entries in the Elixir
Tools and data Services directory[1]. The result can be seen as a pull
request on github[2]. It is using the homepage URL and name as a common
key, and was able to identify 65 candiates. Check the elixir2deb.txt
file in git for the complete list.
I suspect it is possible to find more candiates by looking at the source
repository URL, but am unsure how to efficiently extract that URL from
Debian.

JFYI.
