from my side I would be particularly interested to learn about the
packages that Bio-Linux wants to see redistributed with them but that
are yet not in Debian.
The https://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio pages have that yellow
section that lists a few bio-linux ones. How would you (Andreas and
Tony) feel about moving them to the Bio-Linux list?

The complete list, I propose. The colouring to indicate what is
available and what is on salsa etc is done in an automated fashion.

I tend to agree that a refurbished Bio-Linux should address today's
problems more than the ones of the past. But you can easily remove
packages by just deleting a line, so, first let's have a look about how
much we already cover.

Ok. I am not sure about how far we are from everything. It would help
if we just have something as a start.
