You are welcome.

I admit I'm not really motivated to fill these columns manually.  I've
rather drafted a small script that you can run:

   https://salsa.debian.org/blends-team/med/-/blob/master/covid-19_doc/bio_covid-19_dependencies_query

The current result can be found here

I think UDD gives all answers you are interested in and this answer might
change over time.

I hope that the query result is helpful.  I also checked bustools as
example that was pinned to amd64 architecture.  Since I have not seen
any reason I simply uploaded for any architecture - lets see what we get
out of this.

BTW, in the list I replaced

   "20 dependencies on R packages for pigx-rnaseq would need to go here"

by those dependencies I've found in the preliminary pigx-rnaseq packaging
by the real r-* packages.  Do you intend to add pigx-rnaseq to the list
itself?  Since we do not have anything for pigx-scrnaseq I ignored this
for the moment.

I guess we all have a common interest. :-)

But its a proof that my remark about some unfortunate choice of the name
that Steffen misunderstood the package request.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
