Please shortly describe the purpose of your fork the changes you
did on the list and than we can (probably/hopefully) replace the
existing hmmer2 package by your fork.  I'm *not* a hmmer2 user
(nor do I have the slightest idea what hmmer2 is doing - I'm not
a biologist) so it makes no sense to discuss this just with me.
Thus I'm posting this on the list.

For other readers here are some links to previous posts about
this issue:

My prefered way to deal with this would be to point the debian/watch
file of hmmer2 to

  https://github.com/anadon/hmmer2/releases

and package the latest release from there (instead of applying huge
patches that nobody can read or maintain) but please document the
relation to the official hmmer2, your fork/continuation and hmmer3
at an easily accessible place.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
