Thanks a lot for checking and by doing so teking responsibility for work
that is on my (or the Debian Med teams) table.  Since I took over the
jellyfish package from a maintainer who left the team I trusted on his
initial work without doing these checks.  Under this circumstances I
wonder whether you could choose a different name than python-jellyfish
since I'm just checking the opportunity to provide Perl and Python
bindings which might be really interesting for DNA jellyfish users.

Thanks for your understanding and as said above - some name different
from python-jellyfish would be helpful. 

Kind regards
