Bug#987620: Bug
>> I'd be happy to sponsor it.

Okay then!
(CCing the WPNN bug, for posterity, and so others can see this is taken.)
Took a quick look, and did a major updating of the debian/ packaging scripts.
There were issues with passing flags through to the actual compiler,
so I did some Rube Goldberg tricks to bypass the top-level Makefile
and let debhelper do its tricks with qmake.
Ultimately, the "right thing" would be to mess about with the
"upstream" build scripts to make them more standard, like have the
qmake stuff do the installation, have only one qmake invocation, yada
yada.
Anyway, I forked your github repo and pushed my changes there. Please
check if it works with my scripts. If you're happy with everything, I
can just upload it. Or if you'd rather, I can be more hands-off and
sponsor someone else's uploads (e.g., yours) and let you do all the
packaging stuff w/ my feedback etc. However as a PI myself, I know
what I'd choose!
Minor stuff:
Not sure if it belongs in "science" because that's generally for
things like data analysis software, numeric methods, machine learning
libraries, etc.
But what the heck. That gives it an automatic team maintenance, which is nice.
And it can always be shifted.
There are some compiler warnings, like using an old sort function
instead of the new approved one. Someone should probably take a look
at them sometime.
I'm renamed the icon to just eln, since the longer one seems a bit
silly: what if (no offense) you're hit by a bus?
Cheers,
--Barak.
