Hi Charles, for a moment I thought that I would have to contradict, primer3 should be in Debian, but no, this is ePCR that I misstook it with. If you would be prepared to take over the packaging and the contact with upstream ... this would be great! I left the wet-lab environment half a year ago. Another nice package is perlprimer that you may want to have a look at.
