Suggests: aceperl
                should this possibly be "libace-perl" ?


Yes and that's fixed in SVN as you can see at

  http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev.html#libace-perl

The problem will be fixed soon (really soon - we just needed blends-dev
version 0.6.3 which is available since two days).

bioconductor
                bioconductor should go

Yes - I'm *really* wondering how to handle this.  Bioconductor
is just a pool of R packages which are releavant for us.  Any
suggestion to cherry pick from this pool?

libbio-das-perl
                is this in the distribution? I cannot find it.

That's why it is reduced to "Suggests".  The blends tools parse the
tasks files for Dependencies and if a package is not found in the
package pool the dependency level is decreased to "Suggests".  Have
you ever read the Blends documentation at

  http://blends.alioth.debian.org/blends/ch-sentinel.en.html

We just keep track of prospective packages and the page

  http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev.html#libbio-das-perl

has all information we gathered about this project ...

libbio-mage-utils-perl
                there is however libbio-mage-perl

Same as libace-perl.

libbiojava-java
                this should be under "Recommends", i.e. under the
                same level as its ruby, python and perl fellas

Libbiojava-java is in contrib.  We can not Depend/Recommend packages
outside main so the Dependency was automatically reduced to Suggests.

r-base-core
                this is not a particular med-bio-dev package
                and I would leave it aside but for general
                statistics. I suggest to leave it aside.

I removed it from the task file.

seqan
                is this in the distribution?

No, but there is an ITP and this information is kept at

   http://debian-med.debian.net/tasks/bio-dev.html#seqan

Please read again about prospective packages.

Steffen (who should prepare the update for the just announced biojava 1.7 this 
week with
many nice changes to the structural bioinformatics world (which BioPerl is very 
sparse with))

Well, the most interesting change would be if it could go to main,
right? ;-)

Kind regards and many thanks for your review which was very welcome

      Andreas.
