Right, NCBI's C Toolkit (source package ncbi-tools6, binary packages
including ncbi-data) and C++ Toolkit (the basis for ncbi-blast+) wound
up with different conventional locations for system-wide configuration
files.  I've bridged this gap by adding a symlink to the latest
ncbi-data binary package, which hit Debian testing this morning and from
what I gather should automatically make it into the next Ubuntu release.

Sorry you ran into trouble here!
