You are correct - it does not make much sense on the Blends page.  I
have not verified before asking for it.  I'll remove it again from the
tasks (which does not mean that I will refuse SoB for sure ;-)).

we have discussed the reason why gpaw-setups (gpaw-data) should be shipped by Debian.
The discussion starts here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2015/07/msg00033.html
I can add that the potentials included in gpaw-data can be also read by Abinit.
I CC Michael Banck on this.

Further remark on the package after having a sponsoring look:  Is there
any specific reason to name the source package gpaw-setups and the
resulting binary gpaw-data.  For a single binary package it is more
convenient to choose the same name for both.  I'm asking just for the
sake of interest since if you decide later for a name change it needs
another pass through the new queue.

gpaw-data has been also decided during https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2015/07/msg00033.html
I think this is because similar packages, abinit-data quantum-espresso-data, used this naming convention.
 

Moreover I did two commits to Git:

   1. cme fix dpkg-control
       - fixing Vcs-Browser
       - fixing line breaks in long description
       - does other stuff for normalinsing.
      -> please do do in future or fix the resulting lintian issues
         otherwise

   2. Added missing ${misc:Depends} as lintian was asking you to do


OK thanks. There is a new GPAW release (just today), but this requires python-ase-3.9.0 which
is not in Debian yet. gpaw-data (or gpaw-setups) stays the old one.
I think we just continue with GPAW-0.10.0 and make package update later.

The last commit saying "Upload to new" is not really true until you
comment on the naming choice.

Kind regards
