Dear Debian Med Maintainers,

are you sure the package descriptions are what you intended to say?

    Package: biomaj
    Description: biological data-bank updater
     BioMAJ downloads remote data banks, checks their status and applies
     transformation workflows, with consistent state, to provide 
ready-to-use
     data for biologists and bioinformaticians. For example, it can 
transform
     original FASTA files into BLAST indexes. It is very flexible and its
     post-processing facilities can be extended very easily.

    Package: biomaj-properties
    Description: biological data-bank updater - example properties files
     This package contains a set of data bank properties files that can be
     used as examples for BioMAJ. It contains descriptions for many existing
     data banks with or without workflows to transform data. Some files may
     require additional programs (such as BLAST) for post-processing.

I wonder what a "data bank" is. Did you intentionally use it instead of
database?

The first sentence of the long description for biomaj-properties also sounds
strange to me.

I would be glad if the suggested patch proves as improvement.

Kind regards,
    Martin
