Bug#648645: Orphaning genesis -- general-purpose neural simulator



Hi Sam,

I see that in SVN you started working on updating packaging for 2.3
genesis -- do you recall what was the show-stopper at that point?

according to popcon and our recent review genesis is still used
http://neuro.debian.net/survey/2011/results.html
so it would be shame to loose it...
