[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#775621: python-biopython: FTBFS in jessie: Tests failures

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Alexandros,

:-)

Thanks a lot for your very prompt response.  Its fun to work together
with upstream developers like you.  Please note that since we are
currently in Freeze for the next stable release this new version will
not be part of the next stable release but will be available in
Debian experimental soon.

Thanks again

    Andreas.
