That's hard to compete.  If we would manage the debs after 24 days I
would be more than happy.

I personally use midnightcommander where you can browse archives like
directories.

Well, to start the work on this: which exactly are the libraries we
have packages for that are included in EMBOSS?  IMHO it would not
be any harm to upload a package containing all the libraries shipped
by emboss into experimental and start working from there reducing
those redundant libraries step by step.

Kind regards
