One good solution would be to have the ‘gap’ package build a new binary package, maybe ‘gap-data’, that contains the data you need in a format likely to be useful for many purposes. Could you work with the ‘gap’ package maintainer to achieve that? Once ‘gap-data’ (if that is the name the ‘gap’ maintainers decide) exists, your poposed pacakge can “Build-Depends: gap-data” and work forward from there. -- \ “Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.
