[Debian-med-packaging] ITP: scythe -- Bayesian adaptor trimmer

[daube]

Hi Debian Med folks,

I'm new to Debian packaging/development, and I'd like to start by
packaging a useful piece of software for those using Debian in
computational biology.

I recently packaged scythe[0], a next-gen sequencing read adaptor
trimmer written by Vince Buffalo. Scythe uses a Naive Bayesian matching
algorithm to trim contaminants from sequencing reads. It is more
accurate than other similar packages due to the probabilistic matching
algorithm that it uses, which accounts for features of common DNA
sequencing platforms. I have previously contributed code to scythe, and
I believe I am sufficiently familiar with its development and code base
to maintain this package.

However I'm new to debian packaging, so any and all advice is
appreciated!

The package has been uploaded to mentors.d.net:

I'm hosting the debian packging repo at:

Cheers,
Kevin
