--- Begin Message ---Package: khmer Version: 2.0+dfsg-3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, The section “python” is for packages that install the Python programming language or libraries. Its packages are primarily of interest only to Python programmers. The package ‘khmer’ installs primarily an application of interest regardless of the programming language. It should not be in the “python” section. By the section descriptions, this package belongs in section “science”. Please set the field “Section” appropriately on this package. Since the package is already in Debian under a different section, you will also need to submit a request to override the existing section <URL:https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#override-file>. If the Python libraries are of separate interest to Python programmers, please consider building separate ‘khmer’ and ‘python3-khmer’ packages. (I can file a bug report requesting that also, if you like.) -- \ “I was in Las Vegas, at the roulette table, having a furious | `\ argument over what I considered to be an odd number.” —Steven | _o__) Wright | Ben Finney <[email protected]>

But the information in the package should be rigth too. The section in the package was changed in version 2.0+dfsg-4, and bug 812596 is the request for the ftpmasters to change the override file in the archive. Because of this, I believe this bug should be closed. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
