Right, NCBI's C Toolkit (source package ncbi-tools6, binary packages including ncbi-data) and C++ Toolkit (the basis for ncbi-blast+) wound up with different conventional locations for system-wide configuration files. I've bridged this gap by adding a symlink to the latest ncbi-data binary package, which hit Debian testing this morning and from what I gather should automatically make it into the next Ubuntu release.
