This software will be packaged within the Debian Med team.
This software depends on the USDA food composition database which is in the
public domain.

This database will likely be packaged seperately, I need to check if other
packages already use this database in one way or another. It would also be cool
if compatible databases were available from other countries.
Debian Med is in CC, please follow up on this bug if you have opinions on the
packaging of the USDA food database.
