Nothing in the package uses them (they are web-server helpers). Since sift is in non-free and only built on amd64 in Debian (#987606), this goes unnoticed there, but on every other architecture the build fails in dh_strip: objcopy: Unable to recognise the architecture of the input file `debian/sift/usr/lib/sift/bin/web/seqs_to_msf_web' Ubuntu builds sift on all architectures, so we hit this; the previous version (4.0.3b) didn't have bin/web. The attached change excludes bin/web from the installation, which fixes the build on other architectures and stops shipping binaries that weren't built from source. The only change in the amd64 package is that /usr/lib/sift/bin/web/ is gone. (An alternative would be to build those tools from src/, if they are considered useful, or to repack the tarball without them.) Ubuntu upload: sift 6.2.1-2ubuntu1.
