Greetings!
ncbi-tools6 recently had its first upstream release in a year, issued
a few days before your latest announcement. (As the version number
indicates, the sources themselves are somewhat older; however, the
public release thereof didn't occur until August 27.) Here's the
changelog block:
ncbi-tools6 (6.1.20100808-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release; the upgrade to BLAST 2.2.24 (from 2.2.21) should
address a formatdb regression. (LP: #586219.)
* Uploading to experimental because squeeze is frozen.
* debian/rules
- Clean up compilation settings; in particular, use dpkg-buildflags rather
than relying on dpkg-buildpackage to have set CFLAGS appropriately.
- (clean): restore expected empty directories if necessary,
for compatibility with VCSes (notably git) that don't track them.
- (install-indep-stamp): adapt to new ncbilogo.ico contents.
- (VIB): add asndisc, as upstream takes care to publish binaries thereof.
* debian/ncbi-tools6.install: likewise add asndisc.
* (debian/).gitignore: Ignore content generated during build.
* debian/lib{ncbi6,vibrant6a}.symbols: update for latest release.
* make/makenet.unx: don't link asndisc against extraneous libraries.
* doc/man/*.1: update for latest release.
* doc/man/asndisc.1: throw together a man page for asndisc.
* doc/man/cleanasn.1: fix SEE ALSO formatting.
* debian/control:
- bump dpkg-dev build-dep to >= 1.15.7 for dpkg-buildflags.
- Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (already compliant).
- note switch to git-mediated Debian-Med team maintenance.

In particular, please note that this upload fixes a nasty regression
reported in Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncbi-tools6/+bug/586219
There's no corresponding Debian bug report at present, but I can
formally issue one if you'd like. ;-)
At any rate, I uploaded my packages of the new release to experimental
out of respect for the freeze, but would greatly appreciate it if you
could please authorize a reupload to unstable with the intent of
making it into squeeze. I concede that the diff
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/ncbi-tools6.git;a=commitdiff;hp=3a98718;h=c4b77b0
is on the large side; however, the impact on reverse dependencies
should be negligible, as most of the changed interfaces are only used
internally. (Also, leaving out changes to spacing and fully generated
files helps a fair bit; the result is still larger than I care to
attach :-/, but I've posted a copy at
http://people.debian.org/~ucko/ncbi-tools6_6.1.20100808-1.full-diff
that you're welcome to review as you see fit.)
Per reportbug, I'm including the relevant unblock directive for your
convenience:
unblock ncbi-tools6/6.1.20100808-2
Thanks in advance for considering this request; please let me know if
you have any questions or concerns.
